$10 million in contraceptives are set to be destroyed—despite urgent global need.

EngenderHealth's President & CEO Traci L. Baird says it best: “The destruction of these contraceptives is inexcusable.”

We stand with global partners urging the U.S. to stop the incineration and redirect these supplies to where they’re critically needed.

“These USAID awards were saving lives.”

We’re grateful to Center for Global Development for spotlighting the lifesaving impact of programs like EngenderHealth's MOMENTUM Safe Surgery, which protected the health of mothers and babies around the world.

We’re proud to be recognized alongside leading global health partners—including Chemonics RTI International World Health Organization (WHO) World Food Programme International Rescue Committee Catholic Relief Services PATH, and others—whose efforts continue to save lives every day.

Restoring these critical programs isn’t just smart policy—it’s a matter of life and death, and vital to sustaining progress in global health.
