PPASA is the largest and oldest South African NGO in the field of sexual and reproductive health. It is affiliated to the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), which works in more than 180 countries around the world.
Now over 70 years old, PPASA has developed innovative programmes including Adolescent Reproductive Health Services, Men As Partners, Parent Education, Women’s Wellness, Teen Parenting, Refugee Life Skills, Groups at Higher Risk Programme and the PPASA Centre of Excellence.
PPASA was established in 1931 when 7 young women gathered together on the lawn of an old Cape homestead. Over their tea cups, they discussed the desperate needs of birth control for tired and overburdened mothers. In February 1932 they opened their first mothers, clinic on 354 Main road in Observatory, Cape Town.
