Welcome!

The Healthy Families, Healthy Planet initiative, funded by a grant from the United Nations Foundation, works to educate and mobilize United Methodists in the U.S. on the importance of maternal health and international family planning. Through grassroots education with targeted annual conferences and advocacy efforts with policy makers, the goal of the project is to achieve higher levels of foreign aid for international family planning through the U.S. government.

This blog will be an interactive hub for advocates for maternal health issues. More information will be added in the coming weeks. Feel free to explore the site and learn more about this important program.
