Every Pathfinder program contributes to advancing the rights, health, and prosperity of women and girls—for their own benefit, and for the good of their countries and the world. We work with women and girls so they can make informed decisions about their own bodies and reach their full potential in life. Women we engage develop locally led solutions to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights, lift people out of poverty, strengthen health systems, and build resilience in the face of climate change.

At Pathfinder, we partner with women like Felister Gideon in Tanzania, Ainee Kohli in Pakistan, and Florence Ken in Kenya, unlocking their talent, skills, and energy to drive progress. The women you will read about in this report inspire us. We think they will do the same for you!
