Natural Family Planning (NFP)
Natural Family Planning is a modern, scientific, and natural means of either achieving or postponing pregnancy. It requires no drugs, devices, or surgical procedures of any kind.
We are pleased to offer you abundant resources on this safe, effective and holistic method of family planning.
