The Karen Family Planning Program is committed to teaching Karen community members about reproductive health, child spacing, and related topics. KOM partners with WellShare International to provide culturally-specific health education and resources to refugees from Burma, healthcare providers and other professionals serving the community. KOM and WellShare host community-based classes that are taught in Karen language. The program also seeks to bridge the gap between health care services and Karen patients. The program works with providers and professionals to increase cultural understanding and helps Karen patients become more comfortable discussing health topics with their doctor.
