Addressing the issues
In rural East Africa there is limited access to health services. Patriarchal norms can restrict women's health decisions. There is a high unmet need for family planning, and early marriage, teenage pregnancy, and FGM are prevalent. Communities rely heavily on natural resources and face human-wildlife conflict.

Healthy women
We improve women’s health and wellbeing, and that of their families. Our community health programmes break down barriers that prevent women accessing health services and realizing their Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights.

Healthy communities
By enhancing knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving access to healthcare and contraception, we create positive ripple effects throughout the community. We improve health-seeking behaviour and we empower individuals to advocate for their needs.
