Family Planning Association of Trinidad and Tobago

What Family Planning Association of Trinidad and Tobago does

The Family Planning Association of Trinidad and Tobago (FPATT) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization founded on September 23, 1956 by Dr. Beric H. Wright as a branch of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), with which it holds full membership since 1962. Headquartered in Port of Spain, FPATT delivers comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services across Trinidad and Tobago through three fixed clinic locations — the North Clinic (79 Oxford Street, Port of Spain), the South Clinic (50 Bertrand Street, San Fernando), and a dedicated Youth Clinic (141–144 Henry Street, Port of Spain) — supplemented by a mobile outreach program that reaches remote and underserved communities. Its core service portfolio spans gynaecology, urology, contraception, cervical and prostate cancer screening, STI/HIV testing, pregnancy testing, ultrasound, fertility care, antenatal/postnatal care, mental health referrals, and gender-based violence support, alongside community education, school-based youth programs, and Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) emergency SRH response.

The organization operates through five priority pillars: Sexual & Reproductive Health Services, Community Engagement & Education, Youth Engagement & Development, Organizational Development, Business Development & Financial Sustainability, and SRH in Emergencies. Its differentiated offering is the Access in Action / Healthlink social enterprise, which brings SRHR services directly to corporate workplaces — generating revenue that subsidizes community outreach under a stated 1:2 leverage ratio. Specialized service lines include a Female Health Package (a $5,000 TTD donation enables 34 underserved women to receive free cervical cancer screening) and dedicated programming for vulnerable populations including commercial sex workers, MSM, and women seeking safe abortion support.

FPATT's business model blends five revenue streams: individual donations ($20–$1,000 TTD tiered gifts), membership subscriptions ($200 TTD annual / $1,000 TTD life membership), fee-for-service clinical revenue, Healthlink corporate wellness contracts, and traditional grants — with management explicitly working to reduce grant dependency through diversification. The organization is governed by an independent Board of Directors including medical, financial, HR, media, and youth representatives, with a Strategic Plan covering 2025–2029 in effect. Headcount is 11 employees; no financial figures are publicly disclosed.
