UNFPA, Women Deliver and Global Poverty Project call for improved Family Planning

WHAT'S THE COMMITMENT?

In 2013, Global Poverty Project in connection with the CEO of Naked Condoms, Jud Ireland, committed to provide two million condoms to Uganda, and 20% of all company profits to organisations furthering access to international family planning.

WHAT PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE?

Since the Festival, in dialogue, Naked Condoms and It Takes Two have explored the commitment to donate 2 million condoms to Uganda and found that a cash donation would be of more benefit to the worlds poor. It Takes Two and Naked Condom are now finalizing arrangements for the value of 2 million condoms, to be donated in support of the It Takes Two initiative. An advance donation has been paid and It Takes Two expects to receive the rest of the donation by the end of the year. This donation will be used to further international family planning efforts, with a specific focus on increasing access to family planning services and information in Uganda.

WHAT'S THE IMPACT?

Jud Ireland said, "The nature of our business is already a good cause, and beyond this, It Takes Two is the focus of my vision for social responsibility at Naked Condoms. As well as giving millions of condoms each year to family planning initiatives in the global south, such as Venezuela, my goal is for 50% of profits from Naked Condoms to go towards campaigning efforts furthering women's empowerment and increasing access to family planning services and information for girls and women everywhere. This is where my heart and soul is and the story I really want to tell at Naked Condoms".

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Naked Condoms will continue supporting It Takes Two with a commitment of 20% of all profits for at least the next two years.
