Every informed choice begins with a conversation. đź’™

On the occasion of World Population Day, Population Foundation of India, with the support of the Foundation, launched the campaign in Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh.

The campaign was flagged off with a Mobile Van that will travel across 150 villages, taking engaging films, jingles, IEC materials, and community conversations on delaying first pregnancy, preventing child marriage, and informed family planning choices directly to people.

A powerful highlight of the launch was 200 ASHA workers taking a pledge to champion informed reproductive health choices and raise awareness in their communities.

Together, we're working towards a future where every young person is empowered, every pregnancy is planned, and every family has the information they need to make informed choices.

The District Magistrate also flagged off a Mobile Van that will take family planning and reproductive health messages to 150 villages across three blocks of Gonda district, extending the campaign's reach directly to communities.

By bringing together government leadership, development partners, and frontline workers, the event reinforced the collective commitment to ensuring that individuals and couples have the information and support they need to make informed reproductive health choices.

Young people are turning aspirations into action.

Driven by a passion for creating change, Jyoti Kumari found her purpose as a Youth Champion through Population Foundation of India's Kishori Samooh programme.

She brought together adolescent girls in her community, creating a safe space to learn about menstrual health, puberty and confidence. From establishing a Sanitary Pad Bank to leading menstrual hygiene awareness campaigns and mobilising collective action to address water scarcity, Jyoti has shown what young leadership can achieve.

The confidence and leadership she developed as a Youth Champion also helped her achieve a personal milestone—clearing the Bihar Police examination.

This World Population Day, we celebrate young leaders like Jyoti, who remind us that when young people are equipped with knowledge, opportunities and support, they don't just realize their own hopes and aspirations—they create opportunities for others to thrive.

🎥 Watch her inspiring journey.

Young people don't just shape the future—they're shaping the present.

Growing up in a large family with financial challenges, Sapna Kumari found her voice as a Youth Champion through Population Foundation of India's Kishori Samooh programme.

Since 2021, she has been mentoring adolescent girls in her village, creating safe spaces for conversations on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), and helping girls access the knowledge, confidence and peer support they need to make informed choices about their lives.

This World Population Day, we're celebrating young leaders like Sapna, who are proving that when young people are empowered with information, opportunities and support, they don't just realise their own hopes and aspirations—they help others realise theirs too.

▶️ Watch Sapna's inspiring journey.
