How to Make $10 Go a Really Long Way--and Save Lives While You're at It

How far can $10 go these days? A lot more than a person in a dollar-rich country might imagine.

The newest edition of Family Planning: A Global Handbook for Providers is now available in English, in online and print editions, with translations forthcoming in at least ten more languages. As the Handbook's website states, it is "one of the World Health Organization’s Family Planning Cornerstones, provides evidence-based guidance developed through worldwide collaboration. It offers clinic-based health care professionals in developing countries the latest guidance on providing contraceptive methods."

Voluntary family planning is a proven lifesaver because it promotes maternal health and prevents maternal and fetal deaths and injuries from abortion. And for $10, you can put a print copy of the Handbook into the hands of a health care provider in the Two-Thirds World region of your choice. Just click on the above link and take it from there--and please do spread the word!

A word to people who have religious beliefs against what you all term "artificial methods": You might be interested to know that the Handbook covers the latest scientific knowledge concerning what you all call term "natural methods."
