Overview
This grant will enable the Mobilizing Activists around Medical Abortion (MAMA) Network to support its national members to share and learn best practices in self-managed abortion advocacy through trainings, information hotlines, and community mobilization. The MAMA Network is a movement of African grassroots activists and feminist groups that work directly with women in communities to increase access to self-managed abortion and sexual and reproductive health and rights. During the grant period, the MAMA Network will democratize access to information and knowledge by ensuring that its materials and hotlines are accessible in over a dozen languages spoken across the region.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
As a leading African feminist organization, Trust for Indigenous Culture and Health (TICAH) works to ensure women and girls have access to high-quality, comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information and services, including contraception and safe abortion. Through its Our Bodies, Our Choices program, TICAH builds the agency and ownership of communities to identify and realize their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) needs, and works with marginalized populations as equal partners in achieving SRHR and social inclusion. TICAH will implement a new strategic plan, capitalizing on its Culture-Art-Health framework to bring attention to gender justice and how “choice” is understood, acted upon, and reflected in SRHR services and policies throughout Kenya.
