Mission & Goals
Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevölkerung (DSW) is an international development organisation, which focuses on the health, needs, and potential of the largest youth generation in history. Our objective is to empower young people, especially young women and girls, by creating demand for and access to youth-friendly health information and services, including modern contraceptives, and by securing the right to bodily autonomy. With offices in Europe and East Africa, we achieve this through a combination of youth-oriented programmes and gender transformative advocacy that also champions global health, including investments in research and innovation to fight poverty-related and neglected diseases and to foster women’s health.
