About the foundation
Information, education, and support with respect.
Iochebed Foundation is a health information and education center offering counseling and support to women facing an unplanned pregnancy and to women experiencing post-abortion syndrome. The foundation also works to educate teenagers and young adults about sexual integrity, and offers information and counseling related to sexual abuse, rape, family relationships, and raising children.
The foundation states that its mission is to defend the right to life of the unborn child and a woman's right to be informed before making a decision about abortion. In Romania, many pregnant women face fear, stigma, and a lack of emotional, material, or family support. The foundation's programs aim to offer alternatives and practical help.
