What We Do
Five pillars. One mission.
Each program area addresses a barrier that prevents girls and women from accessing the health information and support they deserve.
We promote open, free conversations on sexual and reproductive health across communities, normalizing what has long been silenced.
What this program covers
Awareness is IWEHA's frontline program. It tackles the silence and shame that surrounds women's reproductive health by creating brave, informed, and community-owned conversations.
- Normalizes open discussions on menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum health, menopause, and women's cancers
- Shifts harmful social norms and amplifies women's lived experiences
- Uses community dialogues, school campaigns, and media to reach adolescents and communities
- Trains community health champions to sustain dialogue beyond IWEHA's direct presence
- Engages parents, teachers, and community leaders as allies
We deliver age-appropriate SRH education that enables girls and women to make informed decisions about their health across every life stage.
What this program covers
Structured, evidence-based SRH education delivered through schools, peer educators, community workshops, and digital platforms & meeting girls where they are.
