Pathfinder International Overview
Pathfinder International is a global leader in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). We place reproductive health care at the center of all that we do. In Pakistan, Pathfinder International has been leading the development of implementation plans, policies and innovative interventions that centre around women and young people’s access to SRHR services,—believing that it is not only a fundamental human right, but is critical for expanding life opportunities for women, families, communities, and nations, and paving the way for transformations in environmental stewardship, decreases in population pressures, and innovations in poverty reduction. Pathfinder strives to strengthen access to family planning, with an emphasis on post-abortion care, and post pregnancy family planning, and advocates for sound reproductive health policies, and, through all of our work, improve the rights and lives of the people we serve.
Pathfinder is committed to providing: equal employment opportunities, terms and conditions of employment consistent with the principles of equal opportunity, and an environment that supports and promotes self-development and job satisfaction for all eligible employees.
