Empowering women across Malawi
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 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.
MASYAP’s 31 women’s support groups meet regularly and consist of members that are infected, affected and not affected women.
The September activities demonstrate MASYAP’s continued commitment to addressing the different needs of communities through an integrated approach.
In addition to leadership and youth engagement activities, MASYAP continued to respond to food insecurity among vulnerable members through its Nutrition Programme.
During September, MASYAP also continued its youth support group visits, providing an opportunity to engage directly with young people at community level.
The Mai Aisha Sisters and Youth AIDS Programme (MASYAP) continued its commitment to supporting vulnerable communities during September 2026 through activities focused on effective leadership, youth support, and improved access to nutritious food.
MASYAP remains committed to contributing to national and global efforts aimed at ending the HIV epidemic. Throughout May, HIV Testing Services (HTS) were integrated into outreach activities to ensure community members had access to quality HIV prevention and care services.
MASYAP continued its commitment to empowering young people through regular visits to youth and women support groups.
In the spirit of Eid-ul-Adha, MASYAP successfully implemented a large-scale Qurban distribution program aimed at supporting vulnerable households across Southern Malawi.
The month of May marked a historic milestone in MASYAP’s Murabaha Financing Program.
MASYAP understands that providing financial assistance is only the first step toward economic empowerment. While lending money may be easy, building sustainable success requires partnership, mentorship, and continuous support.
To ensure sustainability and growth of income-generating activities, MASYAP conducted follow-up visits among microfinance beneficiaries.
