About us
Population Matters is a UK-based charity working globally to achieve a future in which our population co-exists in harmony with nature and prospers on a healthy planet, to the benefit of all. Our mission is to drive positive, large-scale action through fostering choices that help achieve a sustainable human population and regenerate our environment. We campaign, inform, undertake research and do all we can to encourage an open, fair-minded and constructive debate about population. We aim to create a level of public awareness and policy action on overpopulation and unsustainable consumption equivalent to, or exceeding, that achieved for climate change. We promote positive, practical, ethical solutions – encouraging smaller families, inspiring people to consume sustainably, with the aim of enabling everyone to enjoy a decent quality of life whilst respecting and sustaining the natural ecosystems upon which all life on earth depends. We empower choice. In a world of finite resources our reproductive and consumption choices are critical for achieving that vision of humanity in harmony with nature, prospering on a healthy planet. We believe everyone should have the freedom and ability to choose a smaller family. We support human rights, women’s empowerment and global justice. POPULATION MATTERS - EVERY CHOICE COUNTS

I am still in SHOCK!!!😱😱 The #KayungaGirl is the recipient of the 2024 Women’s Empowerment Champion AWARD, my first award ever!! It is still a “pinch me” moment, I just want to be sure I am not dreaming!! I am incredibly thrilled to announce that I have been awarded as a change maker under the category of Women Empowerment Champion 2024 by Population Matters. This recognition is not just a personal achievement but a testament to the power of collective efforts and the impact of dedicated feminists around the globe working towards advocating and advancing #SDG5 The recognition of our work wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my incredible team, mentors and supporters who have believed in our vision as Gufasha Girls Foundation and contributed their expertise,time,efforts and passion. Receiving this award is a reminder of the responsibility that comes with it and it is a catalyst to further elevate our efforts and continue striving for positive change, to amplify voices of girls and women at grassroots that often go unheard and to advocate for better, equitable and supportive policies, systems and services for girls and women. Thank you once again to Population Matters for this tremendous honor. I am deeply moved and motivated to continue this journey towards positive change with renewed vigor and determination towards girls and women’s empowerment in my community. #changechampion2024 #empoweringgirls #empoweringwomen #empoweringcommunities.
