Why?

Family planning is a vital part of reproductive health. Spacing of children improves everyone's survival and education levels.
Without family planning, families and communities cannot climb out of poverty in areas of overpopulation and environmental limits.
215 million women do not have access to contraception when they want it (UNFPA). $1 spent on contraception saves $1.40 in maternal and health care (Guttmacher Institute).
Funding of contraceptives has diminished since the 1970s, whereas the population has quadrupled in the past 100 years, with the largest generation ever now entering reproductive age.

The women's share

Australian women can reach out to women in this part of the world to share an ability we now take for granted - planning the number and spacing of children. Women know how many children they can nurture, and women know there are many ways to contribute to society and decision-making for the long term future.

Our sharing

You can do more to help the world's population pressures (famine, war, disease, environmental degradation) by donating to the family planning component in overseas aid than you can in any other fundamental way. The effects of your help will grow exponentially in world stewardship.
