Our history

PROVIVE was founded as a non-profit, 501c3 organization in defense of human life and dignity, especially of women. Pre- and postpartum care centers were set up for needy and single mothers, and a press and conference campaign was launched, bringing in international experts.

In 1985, taking advantage of a new 'sex education' law, “sexologists” appeared throughout Venezuela, prompting an inadequate and harmful approach to the education of our young people. PROVIVE decided to respond with a complete and healthy curriculum, based on the definition "Education in Human Sexuality is everything that an individual must learn, from birth, which enables him/her to be capable of living happily and lastingly as a couple".

And its corollary: "To live a happy and lasting relationship with another person, one must learn patience, sincerity, loyalty, friendship, veracity, perseverance, generosity, and empathy, among other values, as well as life skills such as listening, understanding and expressing, negotiation, decision making, teamwork, etc."

After several years of intense research in the areas of anthropology, psychology and neurology, together with consultations with renowned specialists, a complete K-12 curriculum of skills for human coexistence was created, based on our definition and its corollary. Finally, in 1999, Alive to the World was published, presenting 13 levels for students from 6 to 18 years old, and Teacher Guides for each grade, requiring one academic hour per week.
