Social Marketing for a Better Life
About us
Since 1989, DKT International, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., has been promoting family planning and HIV/AIDS prevention through social marketing in the developing world. Today, DKT International sells products and provides services in nearly 60 countries. We believe that family planning is key to healthier men, women, and communities, but choice is key to empowerment. DKT enables women and men to take control of their reproductive destinies by boosting decision-making power through educational campaigns, increasing family planning product options, and securing products in easy-to-access outlets at affordable prices. Choice is integral to our mission, and innovation is the foundation of our work. With nearly 3,000 employees worldwide, DKT carries out its work through four approaches, each a testament to DKT’s expanding impact and flexibility within changing markets and evolving technologies. 1.) DKT’s classic social marketing model leverages the private sector to distribute products and targets family planning education to every sect of society, from young women to healthcare providers, often the gatekeepers to contraception. 2.) DKT sells products regionally, building brands and transnational trust. 3.) In 2016, DKT acquired WomanCare Global, enhancing our ability to sell high-quality sage abortion products through existing networks. Lastly, 4.) DKT designs online resources to reach people outside our institutional programs. In 2019, DKT delivered more than 47.8 million couple years of protection (CYPs), making DKT one of the largest private providers of family planning in the world. DKT’s sales totals for 2019 included 805 million condoms, 92 million oral contraceptives, 30 million injectables, 3.5 million IUDs, and more than 25 million safe abortion products, like misoprostol and manual vacuum aspiration kits. DKT’s 2019 sales averted 35 thousand maternal deaths, 10 million unsafe abortions, and 7.8 million unintended pregnancies.

📢 Our new blog from DKT Pakistan is out now! Read about the 200 new Dhanak Health Care Centers (DHCCs) that will bring healthcare to underserved regions across 20 districts in KPK and Punjab under the Self-Empowerment for Women (SEW) project. Supported by KfW Development Bank and German Cooperation, this expansion builds on a network of 1,500+ clinics, aiming to provide essential, compassionate care in the most remote areas. Key to this initiative is the #collaboration between community managers, #midwives, and local leaders to ensure each clinic is equipped and operational, despite the challenges of regional diversity, land disputes, and security concerns. In the blog you’ll meet community manager Zeeshan, and midwife Tahira, who illustrate the transformative power of #communitydriven healthcare. DHCCs are empowering providers and changing lives, one clinic at a time. https://lnkd.in/eGHTffV6 Hareem S. George Papachristou Mariam Hameedi

At DKT, we are dedicated to breaking down barriers related to contraception and safe abortion through innovative sexual and reproductive health initiatives. We're pleased to share some of our latest work in our July/August 🗞 newsletter. 🎤 In Latin America, we've joined forces with 4x Grammy winner #Residente to launch the #HablemosSinVergüenza (Let's Talk Without Shame) campaign with Prudence Condoms. This collaboration has ignited important conversations across the region, reaching young people with vital information about sex and contraception. 📺 In Ghana, the Auntie Lydia Show is addressing common myths and misconceptions about contraceptives, providing trusted advice through engaging weekly videos. This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to support informed reproductive choices in West Africa. 🏥 In Pakistan, we’re expanding our Dhanak Health Clinics, bringing critical family planning services to underserved rural areas in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This expansion not only improves healthcare access but also empowers women economically through the Self-Employment of Women (SEW) project. 🚐 And in India, our Janani program has introduced mobile clinics in rural Bihar, delivering essential medical services directly to those who need it most. DKT’s mission to advance sexual health and education knows no borders, and we’re proud of the progress our teams are making worldwide. Stay connected with our journey on LinkedIn to learn more about how we’re making a difference. #SexualHealth #ReproductiveRights #DKTInternational #GlobalHealth #CommunityEmpowerment #Residente

#Vasectomy is a less talked about reproductive health solution, but an important tool for men who seek to take control of their own, long-term reproductive health. It is also a way to offset the long-term extra costs associated with contraceptive care and allows women a hormone-free solution for use in their own #SRH toolbox. 🏥 Despite the many benefits of vasectomy, there is a great deal of stigma still associated with the procedure, but DKT continues to educate providers and consumers, and operate or partner with vasectomy clinics in the markets where we work. DKT Philippines has had a good amount of success with its initiatives and thus far in 2024, has performed 632 vasectomies. The effort was recently featured in the news with a story about three, DKT clients – with vastly different reasons for seeking out the procedure – who received vasectomies at one its' mobile, Sodex clinics. To learn more about this important work read the article below 👇 DKT International also partners with World Vasectomy Day each year to promote the many benefits of the procedure globally. https://lnkd.in/g47JWfJE
