Empowering Girls & Women: Advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights

At VAHA, our mission is clear: to improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of girls and women, particularly those most vulnerable to gender-based violence, sexual exploitation, and reproductive health challenges.

Our work is rooted in empathy, advocacy, and action. Over 1 million women and girls have already benefited from our community sensitization efforts, and we are just getting started.

🌍 What We Do

Our strategic approach focuses on prevention, empowerment, support, and justice, including:

🎙️ Media Empowerment
We produce radio and television programs featuring courageous women sharing their stories and best practices. These platforms empower others to take control of their reproductive health and rights.

📢 Community Sensitization Campaigns
We host large-scale awareness drives in communities to educate the public on gender-based violence (GBV), safe menstruation, and the importance of speaking out against abuse. We also support the creation of confidential reporting channels to help bring perpetrators to justice.

💜 Psychosocial Support for Survivors
We offer emotional and mental health support for survivors of GBV and sexual exploitation and are establishing perinatal psychosocial clinics in hospitals to detect and manage perinatal depression among pregnant women and new mothers.

🧪 HIV Screening & Linkage to Care
Through regular community screening programs, we aim to detect HIV cases early and ensure timely access to treatment and ongoing care.

⚖️ Justice & Human Rights Advocacy
In collaboration with human rights organizations and social services, we work tirelessly to support women in accessing justice, dismantling the cultural and systemic barriers that perpetuate abuse and silence.

🎯 Our 5-Year Impact Goals

By 2030, we are committed to:

• Supporting 3,000 pregnant women in accessing quality psychosocial care
• Assisting 3,000 survivors of GBV and sexual exploitation with direct services
• Reaching 5 million girls in 500 communities with education, support, and empowerment tools
• Advocating for an end to harmful sociocultural practices that hold women back
