PSN believes that environmental sustainability depends, in part, on making it possible for communities and couples in environmentally fragile locations to have the ability to manage the size of their families.

PSN is providing funds to projects that demonstrate the linkage between environmental sustainability and family planning.

These include, for example, the Blue Ventures Team in Madagascar and the Nomadic Communities Trust initiative in Northern Kenya.

Madagascar

PSN is supporting an innovative project which has been set up by Blue Ventures, a UK based award winning marine conservation organization, which is working towards creating a community-led sustainable development project in Andavadoaka, a coastal village in Madagascar.

Northern Kenya
