Marie Stopes Timor - Leste

What Marie Stopes Timor - Leste does

Marie Stopes Timor-Leste is a non-profit social business organization established in 2001 that provides sexual and reproductive healthcare services across Timor-Leste. The organization operates a network of one fixed clinic in Dili, mobile tents, and outreach teams that deliver services to 11 of Timor-Leste's 13 municipalities, including underserved communities. Its service portfolio includes short-acting family planning methods (condoms, oral contraceptive pills, injectables), long-acting reversible contraception (IUDs, implants), reproductive health counselling, men's health services, traditional family planning methods, STI/HIV prevention and treatment, and general women's health. The organization serves primary segments of women and families, men, youth, and underserved rural communities, with a dedicated National Youth Hotline for the youth segment.

The underlying technology comprises a sexual and reproductive healthcare service delivery platform with online counselling tools, including the Choice Contraception Questionnaire — an online tool that produces ranked contraceptive recommendations based on user inputs — and a mobile app available on Google Play for offline access to contraception counselling. The organization operates multiple client engagement channels including a toll-free contact centre (7676 7676) accessible via phone, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger, alongside social media presence on Facebook and LinkedIn. It is part of the MSI Reproductive Choices global network, which provides brand affiliation, quality assurance frameworks, and operational support.

The business model is a social business hybrid, combining clinical service delivery with social marketing distribution through partner networks to extend reach to underserved populations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and services appear to be subsidized for low-income and underserved clients. Revenue is likely sourced from a mix of donor funding, subsidized service fees, and social marketing product distribution, though no financial figures are disclosed. The organization employs 22 staff and operates under the MSI Reproductive Choices umbrella, maintaining a stable, mission-driven operating model rather than a commercial growth trajectory.
