In the UK and some other developed nations, we take for granted our rights and access to be educated on reproduction and sexual health advise.  We have the choice, knowledge and ability to control the size of our own families.  Allowing us to have children when we are physically, emotionally and financially able to support them. Imagine not having this choice and the impossible decisions and consequences it could lead to.  The charity work done by Marie Stopes international helps men and women (especially women) take some control of their own lives.  By allowing them to control the size of their families, the parents have a choice to focus on their own educations and careers and be in a stronger position to then help their own children to be educated and make their own choices in life.  This does more than help a few people for a short while, it has the potential to help break the cycle of poverty for good. 

225 million women worldwide don’t want to get pregnant, but don’t have access to contraception. We can change this. With a donation to Marie Stopes Intl. you could provide a woman with a year's worth of contraception, empowering her to have children by choice not chance.
