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.
At Mai Aisha Sisters and Youth AIDS Programme (MASYAP), we believe in the power of sport to transform lives.
We conducted follow-up visits to women and young mothers participating in our microfinance programme.
During our outreach activities, we offered HIV testing services (HTS) to our members
We were privileged to distribute qurbani donations to over 1,700 women and youths.
Our team conducted a comprehensive outreach programme, following up on the progress of 12 support groups.
At MASYAP, we are committed to empowering our members financially to help them provide for their families and build sustainable livelihoods.
In May, our dedicated team visited 13 support groups across the Blantyre and Zomba districts.
In addition to the generous donation of boreholes for clean drinking water, Masyap undertook an impactful outreach program in April, engaging with various support groups to assess their progress and provide vital HIV testing services.
The chair ladies meeting for the girls support groups convened with the aim of addressing pressing issues affecting adolescent girls, including teenage pregnancies, access to tertiary education, and the impact of poverty on young girls’ lives.
In April, Muslim World League generously donated two boreholes to MASYAP support groups in need, thereby ensuring access to clean and portable drinking water for their members.
