Thank YOU for being there for every woman and girl. You have saved lives through your commitment.
In fact, we just published our Annual Report — which highlights just how much of an impact supporters like you made on the lives of women and girls around the world:
In 2022, your support.
- Prevented 13.3 million unintended pregnancies
- Averted 30,800 maternal deaths
- Protected more than 100,000 girls from female genital mutilation
- Supported 1.4 million safe deliveries in humanitarian emergencies
- Reached 6.4 million marginalized girls with life skills education sessions
- Distributed more than 1 billion condoms
Thanks to your gifts, we made significant progress in 2022 to ensure every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe, and every woman and girl can live free from violence.
But needs are emerging around the world — in Ukraine, where women are still giving birth during war, in Sudan, where conflict has displaced millions, and across the Horn of Africa where famine looms amidst record-breaking drought.
Our response must match the needs of women and girls in crisis, whose needs are too often overlooked and ignored. Millions are counting on your continued support.
But I want to thank you for making a difference in the lives of women and girls living through drought, famine, warfare, and humanitarian crisis around the world.
Thank you for not looking away and for always being there for women and girls.
Sincerely,
Anu Surendran
Chief Executive Officer
