About us
We are one of the largest international family planning organisations in the world. Millions of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable women trust Marie Stopes International to provide them with quality family planning and reproductive healthcare.
In 2010 alone, our 629 centres, across 40 countries provided seven million couples with high quality health services, including family planning; safe abortion & post-abortion care; maternal & child health care including safe delivery and obstetrics; diagnosis & treatment of sexually transmitted infections; and HIV/AIDS prevention.

Today, Marie Stopes International is scaling-up both the quality and coverage of sexual and reproductive health services for low-income women and couples in developing countries in order to:
- eradicate unsafe abortion by rapidly expanding access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services, including safe abortion
- revolutionise sexual and reproductive health service delivery by providing global technical leadership in family planning and safe abortion
- serve the underserved such as rural communities and displaced populations, rather than merely fighting for a larger share of the existing contraceptive market
- eliminate barriers to sexual and reproductive health supplies and services through programming and advocacy at all levels
- strengthen health systems through partnerships with governments and the non-state sector, to help them do more and do better.
