LETS Empower Women through Health and Hygiene

While many organizations working in Haiti have had to shut their doors during the COVID-19 pandemic , Lunar Essential Tracking System ( LETS ) actually expanded its services with more women participating in its program . That ’ s because LETS has a mission to provide hope and awareness by teaching women how to track their cycles and avoid unplanned pregnancies which often lead to human trafficking , child poverty , and abuse .
LETS provides tools and education for fertility cycle tracking to communities in Haiti , as well as other parts of the world . Many communities have seen a rise in incidents of unplanned teen pregnancies during the pandemic crisis . Therefore , education from LETS has been critical along with their efforts to teach vital health and hygiene education to ensure the communities they serve stayed healthy during the pandemic .
Globally , many communities have seen a rise in incidents of teen and unplanned pregnancies during the pandemic crisis . LETS recognized a growing need for more fertility education in Haiti , expanding their program despite challenges posed by the pandemic crisis .
While the rest of the world seems to be closing doors and going virtual , the LETS teams persisted in their mission . They pivoted where needed and continued safely operating at near full capacity , even opening more doors than ever through community development and education .
A donation from the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation ® helped LETS safely keep operations open , as well as expand their educational program in Les Cayes , Haiti . Since June , more than 400 women , men , and youths ( nine years of age and older ) have received education , LETS bracelets , and follow-up support .
