About US:
Pathfinder International is a global leader in sexual and
reproductive health. We place reproductive health care at the center of all
that we do—believing that it is not only a fundamental human right, but is
critical for expanding life opportunities for women, families, communities, and
nations, and paving the way for transformations in environmental stewardship,
decreases in population pressures, and innovations in poverty reduction.
Pathfinder provides women, men, and adolescents with a range of quality health
services—from contraception and maternal care to HIV prevention and AIDS care
and treatment. Pathfinder strives to strengthen access to family planning, ensure
availability of safe abortion services and post-abortion care, advocate for

rights and lives of the people we serve.
