United Nations Population Fund
The United Nations Population Fund UNFPA is the lead UN agency that funds programs with a mission to ensure that every pregnancy is wanted, every child’s birth is safe and every young person’s potential is fulfilled. The work of UNFPA is based on the premise that all human beings are entitled to equal rights and protections.
