Donate monthly
Provide sustainable support
We build on sustainable relationships – both with our partner countries and with our donors. Many of you have trusted us for many years as sustaining members, helping us to deliver our vital work reliably and continually. Even a small, regular contribution can make a big difference to the lives of young people.
Together we can strengthen young people’s sexual and reproductive rights! Your regular donation gives you and us planning security and saves on administrative costs. It enables us to provide long-term support for young people’s education, health services and access to modern contraceptives. Every contribution counts to support their empowerment and health.
Support our work for a world where young people can make their own choices about their future. Make a regular donation now for sexual and reproductive rights – for a brighter, more equal future for all.

Supported by you
We regularly publish success stories of our work that have been made possible by your donations. Here are two examples.
Catherine from Kenya
The Covid-19 pandemic hit young people in Africa particularly hard. Essential health services were unavailable, modern contraceptives were scarce and young people were denied their basic right to self-determinded family planning. This was the case for 17-year-old Catherine – one of many girls in Kenya who became pregnant during the pandemic and risked a future of poverty and dependency. We published her story, representative of thousands of other affected girls and young women in East Africa, and raised vital financial support.

Yes, we welcome regular donations! Regular support gives us more planning security as it allows us to plan for the long term and support projects on an ongoing basis.
Donations are the foundation of our work and we are grateful for any amount. A particular advantage of regular donations is that they give us more planning certainty with less administration, which of course benefits the projects.
You can make an unrestricted donation or choose which of our four areas you would like to support (political dialogue, youth empowerment, education and contraception, gender equality). If you have a particular project that you are passionate about, you can also choose to donate to that project.
In addition to financial support, you can also make a valuable contribution by actively participating in events or spreading our messages on social media.
