20 Countries
Over recent decades, MSI has built strong government partnerships in 21 countries.
With the help of our donors and partners, MSI has supported more than 290 million people to make choices about their bodies – and their futures.
For 50 years, we’ve met women where they live, understood their aspirations and reproductive healthcare needs, and delivered the choices they deserve. Choices that can mean everything. Choices that can define a life.
But as recent times have made clear, these rights are never guaranteed. Reproductive choice is something to fight for, win and then protect.
That’s why our 50-year impact isn’t just about how far we’ve come – it’s about the future we’re building. We’ve still got work to do. Because millions of women and girls still don’t have the reproductive choices they want and need.
