Pathfinder

From Pathfinder International:

On Monday, we were shocked and saddened by the tragic bombing in Boston, a city Pathfinder headquarters has called home for more than 50 years. Although several of our staff attended the marathon or were close by, everyone is safe.

We truly appreciate the positive thoughts and well wishes streaming in from our supporters, board members, international staff, and friends around the world.

Despite these heartwrenching events, we know that Boston is a city of resilience. In the spirit of that resilience, our work at Pathfinder goes on even as we mourn those lost and injured in the attack.

In this Pathfinder news round-up, you can learn more about our new female condom video featured on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's Impatient Optimists, read about our integrated systems strengthening approach, and find out how you can take action in support of reproductive health access today!

TAKE ACTION
Urge Congress to Protect Investment in Family Planning

Did you know that for every $100 million the US spends on family planning, 1.5 million unintended pregnancies are avoided, 4,000 maternal deaths are prevented, and 20,000 fewer children lose their mothers?

Take action and urge Congress to continue US investment in women’s health by supporting international family planning assistance in the budget. Tell your representatives that every woman's health matters.
