Welcome to Interact Worldwide

Interact Worldwide works to reduce poverty by championing universal access to reproductive health. This includes family planning and maternal health, as well as sexually transmitted diseases and responses to HIV and AIDS. Sexual and reproductive health and rights are fundamental to human rights.

We have over 30 years experience working with local partner organisations in some of the poorest countries of the world.  Our programs benefit vulnerable communities and provide information and services that improve the health of millions. We rely on private contributions to underpin the institutional funding we receive to carry out our vital work.  With your help we can continue to make a difference to the lives of people in the developing world.
