Today, on World Population Day (July 11), we at DKT Ethiopia pause to reflect on a simple but powerful truth: when individuals are empowered to make informed choices about their reproductive health, they unlock the potential for healthier families, stronger communities, and a more resilient nation.
We believe that every Ethiopian, no matter where they live or what their circumstances may be, deserves access to safe, affordable, and trusted contraceptive options. Because with choice comes freedom, and with freedom comes power to:
- Plan a family in ways that reflect personal dreams and economic reality.
- Protect the health of mothers and children, reducing risks and saving lives.
- Pursue education and economic opportunities, especially for women and girls.
- Build stronger communities and contribute to a more sustainable Ethiopia.
This belief is at the heart of what we do.
At DKT Ethiopia, our mission is to ensure that family planning is not a luxury but a right. We reach across cities, rural areas, and underserved communities with innovative social marketing, bold partnerships, and dedicated outreach, making sure choice is within reach for all.
Our vision is clear:
- A country where every pregnancy is wanted.
- Every mother is safe.
- Every young person is informed and empowered.
- And every family thrives because reproductive health is prioritized and protected.
On this World Population Day, we reaffirm our promise to stand by every individual and family in Ethiopia. But we know we can’t do this alone. So, we invite you, our partners, health workers, advocates, and communities to stand with us in:
- Uplifting the right to choose: Let’s make sure everyone can decide freely and confidently if, when, and how many children to have.
- Expanding access: Together, we must remove the barriers that prevent people from accessing the services and tools they need.
- Championing health and dignity: Because family planning isn’t just a health service, it’s a pathway to gender equality, economic growth, and national development.
When people have the power to choose, they shape their futures and the future of Ethiopia.
Let’s celebrate that power. Let’s protect it. Let’s expand it.
From all of us at DKT Ethiopia:
Happy World Population Day!
Your Choice, Our Commitment.
DKT Ethiopia: Partnering for a Healthy Future.
