Challenge

Globally, more than 220 million women who want to use contraception can’t. Today in developing regions, more than half of all reproductive-age women want to avoid a pregnancy. Unfortunately, only one in every four of them is currently using effective contraceptives (Guttmacher Institute, 2014).

Description

PRJKT RUBY is partnering with a global health organization to bring affordable contraceptives to women worldwide. The TAKE1GIVE1 movement will initially be dedicated to empowering women in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. For each month of oral contraceptives purchased through PRJKT RUBY, a donation of 25 cents will be made to support access to contraception for women in the developing world via Population Services International (PSI). Methods of contraception may include oral contraceptives, injectables, implants, IUDs, or emergency contraceptives.
