Our first IUCD clinic in a village! π
Whilst inserting the IUD, we noticed that a majority of the women had substances packed in their vaginas. The issue with some of these traditional substances is that they are believed to act as a contraceptive, yet these women are still falling pregnant.
Our copper IUCD clinic in Bunya Village, Kavango West, became a turning point for 188 households across 9 communities. In a region burdened by myths, poverty, and limited healthcare, we provided life-changing contraceptive options and reproductive health education in their native language.
One story speaks volumes: a 32-year-old mother of nine, already a grandmother, represents the urgent need for accessible healthcare. Her story is a reminder of why we do what we doβto break cycles of poverty and create pathways for healthier, brighter futures.
At OSAAT Africa Health Foundation we believe every woman deserves access to healthcare that empowers her to make informed decisions about her body and her future.
This impact was only possible thanks to our incredible volunteers, partners, and the resilient women who trusted us to stand with them. Together, we are proving that quality healthcare for all is not just a visionβitβs a reality in the making.
