Saving Lives with Family Planning

Haiti: April 2009

Earlier this month New York Times columnist Nicholas D. Kristof visited a Haitian slum and met Nahomie, an impoverished woman who is pregnant with her tenth child. In this short video produced by Erik Olsen, Mr. Kristof touches on several themes that directly relate to Pathfinder's work including the need for access to quality family planning, improved girls' education, empowered women, and increased funding for family planning worldwide.

• Read his April 5, 2009 column, Pregnant (Again) and Poor.
• Check out Pathfinder's response on his blog Organizations working on family planning.
