Our History
Family Care International (FCI) was established in 1987. Its founding vision was a strong commitment to improving maternal health – and that commitment remains central to the organization’s mission. With eight field offices, FCI now spends over two-thirds of its budget on strengthening reproductive health programs in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. FCI creates tools and resources to strengthen services in more than 100 countries.
How We Work
FCI advances its work by:
- Strengthening national and international commitment and resources for people-centered policies and programs, and encouraging action through the exchange of information and experience.
- Building the capacity of partners in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean to design, implement, and evaluate national strategies and model programs.
Integral to both these strategies is the production of quality and comprehensive advocacy and education materials that reinforce programmatic efforts.
Our Partners
FCI works with governments, non-governmental organizations, professional groups, and international agencies to make pregnancy and childbirth safer around the world. We build partnerships at all levels to share ideas and experiences, respond to local needs, maximize effective use of resources, minimize duplication, and encourage replication of successful models and approaches.

FCI is dedicated to making pregnancy and childbirth safer around the world.
We work to:
- Ensure access to quality maternal and newborn health care;
- Help women and girls to prevent and manage unintended pregnancy;
- Promote the sexual and reproductive health and rights of young people and other underserved groups;
- Reduce the spread of HIV, especially among women and young people.
FCI envisions a world where no woman suffers preventable injury or death from pregnancy or childbirth related causes, and in which all people are able to enjoy their sexual and reproductive health and rights.
