Masyap – Empowering women across Malawi

MICROFINANCE

Our programme is a core part of our operations and our goal of helping women to fight the effects of HIV/AIDS by tackling poverty, which is a key driver of HIV/AIDS in Malawi and most parts of the world.

Youth groups

Youth programmes were established in 2015 and now there are 30 youth support groups. They are comprised of girls that are infected and those that are not infected by the virus.

Women's support groups

MASYAP’s 31 women’s support groups meet regularly and consist of members that are infected, affected and not affected women.

Mai Aisha Sisters and Youth AIDS Programme (MASYAP) was established in 2008 with the aim of civic-educating Muslim women and youths on the prevention of HIV/AIDS and providing care to those infected by the virus.

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 self-worth and aspiration.

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
