DSW helps people to protect themselves from illnesses and unwanted pregnancies and fight their way out of poverty. For this reason we implement and support family planning and information projects in Africa and Asia. Youth plays a special role: they are the parents of tomorrow and the key to the development of their countries. Investing in their health means investing in a better future. DSW is deeply concerned about the promotion of girls, since girls are hit particularly hard by poverty, disease and injustice. They bear a great burden, while at the same time play a key role for sustainable development.
