The Barriers Women Face Are Real.

Many women in Malawi still struggle to access modern contraceptives because of distance, stockouts, stigma, and limited information. These barriers rob them of dignity, choice, and control over their futures.

HEFAI bridges the gap by ensuring women—especially adolescents and young women—get equitable, safe, and reliable access to family planning services.

Long Distances

Miles of travel required to reach the nearest health facility.

Frequent Stockouts

Reliable methods are often unavailable when women finally arrive.

Social and religious pressure limits open discussion and use of contraceptives.

Limited Youth Services

Adolescents lack friendly and confidential access to care and information.
