Because reproductive health is linked to a woman's social and economic well-being, programs that contribute to her status within her family, and to her knowledge of and access to institutions and ideas, will improve her health and the health of her children. It's time to get serious about saving women's lives. With three billion young people nearly half the world's population entering or soon to enter their reproductive years, we must act now. PAI advocates the expansion of voluntary family planning and related health services, and of educational and economic opportunities for women. PAI is a private, nonprofit organization and accepts no government funds.
CARE is one of the world's largest private international relief and development organizations.
Founded in the aftermath of World War II, CARE enabled Americans to send more than 100 million CARE Packages to survivors of the conflict in Europe and Asia. CARE has become a leader in sustainable development and emergency aid, reaching tens of millions of people each year in more than 60 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. For more than 50 years now, CARE has been a vehicle of American generosity abroad. Population Action International is a partner in the campaign.
