Join us for the second session of our virtual Site Visit Series, spotlighting our Guatemalan partners, Maya Health Alliance!
Since 2007, Maya Health Alliance, also known as Wuqu’ Kawoq, has been advancing quality healthcare services in rural regions of Guatemala. Their community-based approach combines medicine, culture, and language to overcome barriers to care and improve women’s health, maternal-infant health, and chronic disease outcomes.
This session will begin with a presentation by Population Connection Senior Analyst Hannah Evans, who visited Maya Health Alliance earlier this year. Hannah will provide an important overview of Guatemala’s demographic trends before diving into photos and stories from her site visit. Then, we will hear from Anne Kraemer, co-founder and CEO of Maya Health Alliance, to further explore the organization’s founding mission, key programs, and future goals. Anne will share compelling stories from program participants that you won’t want to miss out on!
Edited by Bill McKibben and Jaime Green, this compelling anthology brings together twenty powerful essays that reflect on a year marked by environmental upheaval and awe-inspiring natural phenomena. From wildfires and biodiversity loss to innovative efforts to protect wildlife, these stories offer both urgency and hope as we consider humanity’s evolving relationship with the planet.
Whether you read the entire collection or just a few essays, we’d love for you to join the conversation!

More Details HereWe’ve had a full year of virtual events, hosting experts in the fields of conservation, population issues, sustainable development, and women’s empowerment.
Leading up to the 8 billion milestone, we hosted a number of events where we discussed how our growing population hampers progress toward environmental preservation, climate change efforts, and poverty alleviation. We heard from community organizers in Uganda, youth activists in Nepal, and PopConnect staff based across the country.
8 Billion Mini SeriesThis spring we hosted our virtual demography series! Hannah Evans, our Senior Analyst, hosted educational sessions once a month from March to June that explored the various ways in which human population trends and dynamics affect global sustainable development and environmental change.
Demography SeriesFor the past year, we’ve successfully conducted a series of virtual events, featuring renowned professionals specializing in conservation, sustainable development, demography, and reproductive rights.
In 2021 we started our “Page Turners” Book Club, excited to have a new way to connect with our members and supporters on the latest publications that discuss population dynamics, sustainable development, and environmental issues. Every two months, we hosted one-hour discussions on books chosen by our audience. Publications include The New Climate War by Michael E. Mann and The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert.
Page Turners Book ClubWe celebrated this year’s Earth Day all month long, hosting speakers from organizations around the world to discuss family planning services and reproductive rights in their communities. We wrapped up presentations with an on-demand screening of the new documentary, 2040, followed by a discussion of the film on Earth Day!
2021 Earth DayOver the past year, we’ve assembled a lineup of virtual events showcasing experts in reproductive rights, conservation, and population dynamics.
An introduction to population studies, this month-long course is particularly useful for anyone interested in volunteering with Population Connection in the future. The weekly sessions take a deeper look at how population dynamics relate to global issues such as poverty, sustainable development, access to health care, climate change, and the health of our planet.
Population and Climate Change CourseLeading up to the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, we held a virtual Earth Day challenge consisting of daily actions individuals could partake in to reduce their environmental impact. Two of the challenges included tuning in to presentations hosted by our President John Segar and Communications Manager Hannah Evans.
