Join the Movement for Sustainability and Leadership 

Be a Changemaker 

"All our environmental problems become easier to solve with fewer people, and harder – and ultimately impossible – to solve with ever more people." – Sir David Attenborough

Imagine this: by 2050, the world's population is going to explode to 9.7 billion. That's putting a ton of pressure on our planet.  

That's going to massively accelerate climate change, destroy natural habitats, and pollute our air and water. Our planet's already struggling, and this will push it to the limit.

Get Involved

Students, teachers, parents: your ideas and energy are what make our Design. Lead. Contribute. program a success. 

Just like Amelia, our first student leader, who rallied her school for a powerful cause and made a significant impact, you can design, lead, and contribute too.  

Discover your potential to drive change and be a force for sustainability. The planet needs you. 

Why Get Involved?

Support Global Initiatives 

Our planet's facing major challenges with overpopulation and environmental damage. Thankfully, The Women's Plans Foundation (WPF)'s partner NGOs—Australian Doctor’s International, ChildFund Australia, Family Planning, and MSI AP—are stepping up to make a change. 

They're helping people get access to family planning, working with local teams overseas (and respecting their cultures), and being totally upfront about their work. And WPF gives them money every year to make it happen. 

Make a Global Impact 

Want to make a real difference in places like Cambodia, Timor-Leste, Fiji, and PNG? By leading the way on population growth and sustainability, we can all make a real difference. And that's exactly what WPF's been doing — since 2004, WPF's been giving out over $1 million in grants to fund awesome projects across Asia Pacific, making a real difference for a sustainable planet!
