Today is World Population Day!
[[link removed]]
The United Nations commemorated the first World Population Day [[link removed]] on July 11, 1990. World Population Day has been observed every year since then to increase public awareness of global population challenges. In November 2022, our global population surpassed the 8 billion mark. Rapidly growing population threatens the survival and well-being of humans and hundreds of thousands of other species on this planet.

Global Partner Spotlight: Wuqu’ Kawoq (Maya Health Alliance)
[[link removed]]
Led by indigenous Maya, Wuqu’ Kawoq (also known as Maya Health Alliance) provides high quality health care to more than 10,000 patients in 35,000 visits per year to homes, clinics, and community centers in Guatemala’s Central Highlands. Community Health Workers provide care in the communities where patients live and in their primary languages.
Guatemala’s income distribution is among the most unequal in the world. Women in Guatemala are ten times more likely than a woman in the United States to die during childbirth, and as many as 80% of children in rural communities suffer chronic malnutrition. Indigenous Mayan communities in particular lack access to health care—many live in remote areas and do not want to be treated in a hospital where no one speaks their language or where they may not be treated with dignity.
