CRS rejects groups' assertions it supplied birth control in Kenya

A student at the Yedhi Primary School in the village of Boraimani, Kenya, does her school work on a desk provided by Catholic Relief Services. On March 3, the Population Research Institute and the Lepanto Institute said that CRS implemented the “Healthy Choices 2” program including the distribution of condoms and contraceptives under the federal President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief program. CRS called assertions that it had supplied birth control in the country as “misleading, exaggerated and untrue.”

WASHINGTON - Catholic Relief Services, the U.S. bishops' overseas relief and development agency, called assertions that it had supplied birth control in Kenya "misleading, exaggerated and untrue."
