Two boys ride through a village near Kampong Speu, Cambodia. PSI was in the area promoting a local clinic, to be held the following day, providing birth control for rural women.
PSI (Population Services International) is working in this area to provide counselling and access to birth control to women as part of their reproductive health program.
PSI is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. that harnesses the vitality of the private sector to address the health problems of low-income and vulnerable populations in more than 60 developing countries. With programs in malaria, reproductive health, child survival, HIV and tuberculosis, PSI promotes products, services and healthy behavior that enable low-income and vulnerable people to lead healthier lives. Products and services are sold at subsidized prices rather than given away in order to motivate commercial sector involvement.

Mathias Tabeva is the Nurse Practitioner who runs the Ledungsivi Clinic in Central Pentecost. During Tropical Cyclone Harold, he stood on the verandah of the clinic to watch the winds and raise the alarm for the families sheltered inside if the cyclone changed course towards them. The expansion of the clinic next door to where he stood lost its roof, which flew several hundred metres and landed in the treetops nearby.
