How You Can Help UNFPA

English | Français | Español

It doesn't have to be this way.

Every minute of every day...
one woman dies from a treatable complication of pregnancy

Every minute of every day...
4 people contract HIV and another 4 die of AIDS

Every minute of every day…
2 billion struggle to survive on a dollar a day or less

Every minute of every day…
190 women get pregnant without intending to

Count yourself as part of the solution.

• $9 enables a couple to postpone pregnancy for two years using oral contraceptives.

• $20 buys clean birthing kits for 12 pregnant women in emergency situations

• $65 is the average cost for a Caesarean section that can save the life of a mother and child

• $150 trains a teacher to educate students about HIV and its prevention.

• $1,000 covers the drugs, supplies and equipment needed to provide backup emergency care for 500 pregnant women in a humanitarian crisis.
