BLM is part of Marie Stopes (MSI) International’s Global Partnership which operates in 40 countries providing over 5 million services worldwide annually. BLM works closely and in partnership with the Ministry of Health and is committed to their goals, and also with international donors whose support has enabled the organisation to achieve such tremendous results in the last twenty years.
