JHCP has worked closely with the Civil Status and Passports Department (CSPD) since 2008 on the Mabrouk initiatives, which targets newlyweds through Mabrouk I and new parents through Mabrouk II. The central goals of the Mabrouk initiatives are to provide information to those approaching marriage about health issues related to their needs as they enter this new stage of life. The key topics covered in the two books include the advantages of using modern contraceptives to space between pregnancies, the benefits of spacing no less than three years after the birth of the first
child, and basic guidelines for childcare from birth through age three.
