We champion sexual and reproductive health and rights worldwide, mobilizing communities most in need to break through barriers and forge their own path to a healthier future.
Unsafe abortion remains a leading cause of maternal death in sub-Saharan Africa. Pathfinder reduces barriers and increases access to comprehensive safe abortion care—that is, safe abortion and postabortion care services.
Pathfinder designs and implements sexual and reproductive health programs with and for young people, helping them to realize their fullest potential and make decisions about their bodies and their lives.
As a global pandemic unfolded, Pathfinder worked to maintain critical sexual and reproductive health care while protecting our staff, partners, and the communities in which we work from COVID-19.
Evidence from the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic indicated that the secondary effects of COVID-19—from lockdowns to diverted health resources to the role of women as caregivers—would disproportionately impact women and girls.
For nine years, across 17 countries, Pathfinder has led the Evidence to Action (E2A) Project, USAID’s global flagship for strengthening family planning and reproductive health service delivery.
At Pathfinder, we invest in making women, girls, their communities, and our entire planet more resilient to climate change through Women-Led Climate Resilience.
Pathfinder advocates locally, nationally, and globally for robust funding and strong policies to improve access to sexual and reproductive health care for women and youth.
When we began this year, we never could have imagined where it would end. A global pandemic has transformed how we live and work and challenged us in immeasurable ways.
