Over 40 percent of pregnancies in Kenya are unintended; that is either mistimed or unwanted. According to a 2014 study by population council, the high number of unplanned pregnancies stems largely from an unmet need for contraceptives.

Which means that one in four married women in Kenya have an unmet need and the national modern contraceptive prevalence rate is estimated at 39 percent. Unintended pregnancies have significant implications for the health and well-being of women and children.

According to the study, approximately 14 percent of pregnancies in Kenya end in abortion. Most of these abortions are performed by unskilled people, often in conditions that do not meet minimal medical standards and are not followed with the appropriate post-abortion care. These unsafe abortions result in about 2,600 deaths of women and girls annually in Kenya.

If you are sexually active and not using protection, using contraceptives is the one method to make sure you aren’t caught off-guard with unwanted pregnancy.
