Pathfinder International (India)

Pathfinder has worked in India since 1963, partnering with the government of India to bring information and services to the people who need them most. From long-acting contraception for adolescents to emergency care for pregnant women who live far away from a health facility, we go where the need is greatest.

One in eight young people in the world lives in India, and Pathfinder’s work in the country focuses on this growing population. Pathfinder has designed and delivered more than 15 innovative projects in the country within the States of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, Delhi, and Maharashtra. Pathfinder has improved sexual and reproductive health outcomes, with a focus on vulnerable and hard to reach populations, by delivering projects aimed at averting unintended pregnancies and promoting healthy timing and spacing practices.
