Friend,
You know that global population growth exacerbates climate change, degrades wildlife habitats, and overburdens fresh water and food supplies.
Together, we make the links between population growth and our world’s most pressing problems.
Thanks to the support of our members and supporters— people like you! —Population Connection remains the only national grassroots organization dedicated to …
*
Raising
awareness
of
population
issues
nationwide;
*
Educating
K-12
students
through
our
formal
Population
Education
program;
and
*
Advocating
at
the
federal
level
for
access
to
reproductive
health
care
and
family
planning
options
for
everyone,
everywhere.
In recent years, we’ve built on these core programs by partnering with smaller, community-based organizations in the developing world. Each Global Partner helps to advance our mission, whether by removing barriers to girls’ education, conserving wildlife through a public health approach, or directly providing access to reproductive health services for local people.
We’re proud to say that we invested more than $500,000 in our Global Partners’ work last year—thanks to the generous support of people like YOU! With that support, our partners were able to:
*
Award
77
students
financial
aid
to
pay
for
school
fees
through
Nashipai
Maasai
Community
Projects,
an
organization
based
in
Kenya.
The
parents
or
guardians
of
Nashipai’s
student
beneficiaries
pledged
not
to
subject
their
girls
to
female
genital
mutilation
or
child
marriage.


*
Sponsor
the
training
of
261
Village
Health
and
Conservation
Team
members
with
Conservation
Through
Public
Health,
a
Ugandan-based

organization
(and
our
longest-running
Global
Partner!).
Part
of
the
training
taught
volunteers
how
to
address
side
effects
of
various
family
planning
methods,
as
well
as
how
to
manage
and
follow
up
on
referrals
to
community
health
centers.


*
Provide
family
planning
services
to
1,000+

790

implants,
57

ligations,
46

300
