Empowering women across Malawi

MICROFINANCE

The microfinance project, which began in 2012, provides its 147 participants with loans to help them start their own businesses, and increase their economic independence.

There are 23 MASYAP youth groups who meet two-four times a month. They are made up of both HIV positive and HIV negative girls aged 12-24. Workshops to help increase understanding of HIV/AIDS are run, as well as organised sports trainings in both netball and cricket.

Women's support groups

MASYAP’s 28 women’s support groups meet regularly and are made of both HIV positive and HIV negative women. Frequent workshops are run for the women in these groups relating to issues surrounding HIV/AIDS.

Mai Aisha Sisters and Youth Aids Programme (MASYAP) was established in 2008 with the aim of educating Muslim women and youth on the prevention of HIV/AIDS and to provide care and support to those infected the with virus. Since then,

MASYAP is led by a strong and multi-faith female team, committed to helping women and girls in Malawi fight HIV/AIDS and its wide reaching effects. They do this by delivering programmes to improve health, reduce poverty and advocate the self-worth

Since the launch of MASYAP, our work has made a difference to the lives of hundreds of women like the ones whose stories are displayed on this page. Shaneel (11), Suzen (13), Ibrahima(13), Amina (17), Aisha (18) and Yahaya
