Vital Work in a Changing World: Pathfinder Stands Strong with the Communities We Serve

January 29, 2025—On this day, and every day, we affirm our commitment to the communities we serve. Our work at Pathfinder is not charity, it’s not politics, it’s not optional. Our work is a vital investment in the future. Governments and local partners rely on our work that helps millions of women, girls, and entire communities become healthier, stronger, and more secure. To build sustainable health systems and deliver babies safely, to strengthen local economies and plant flood-resistant crops, to keep girls in school and prevent cervical cancer. The work Pathfinders do in more than 20 countries in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East is essential. It makes the world safer and more prosperous. And we all benefit.

With so much at stake, this moment of unprecedented change and strife will have long-lasting impacts and setbacks. Amid all this uncertainty, there is one thing we know for sure: the people and partners who relied on us yesterday, are still relying on us today. We will keep working by their side, we will keep going.
