IFPD

If you educate a man,
You educate one person

If you educate a woman,
You educate a whole family.

Indian Proverb

IFPD promotes the health, education and empowerment of women in developing countries by providing them with effective means to fight poverty and improve their own and their children's living conditions in a sustainable way.

Women represent 70% of the world's poor and two thirds of the world's 776 million illiterate adults.

Women perform 66% of the world’s work, produce 50% of the food - but earn 10 percent of the income.

Every day 1,000 women die giving life - one woman every 90 seconds; 99% of these deaths occur in the developing world.
