Who We Are

WEMA Health Foundation is a nonprofit organisation committed to advancing the health, education, dignity and empowerment of women and girls. Founded on the belief that every girl deserves the opportunity to thrive, we work to address the social, educational and health-related barriers that limit their potential.

Our work focuses on expanding access to education, promoting reproductive health, preventing gender-based violence and challenging harmful practices that threaten the safety and well-being of women and girls. Through community engagement, evidence-informed programmes, mentorship and strategic partnerships, we support individuals and communities to create lasting, positive change.

At WEMA, we believe that the well-being of women and girls is fundamental to the well-being of families, communities and society. We are committed to building a future where every girl can learn, every woman can live with dignity, and every individual has the opportunity to make informed decisions about their health and future.

Our commitment is simple: healthier lives, equal opportunities and empowered communities.

Our Programmes
Creating Opportunities . Protecting Dignity . Transforming Lives.

WEMA Health Foundation advances the well-being of women and girls through three interconnected programme areas. Our approach recognises that education, health and gender justice are closely linked, and that meaningful progress requires addressing the barriers that affect girls and women throughout their lives.

1. Education and Girls' Empowerment
LEARNING · OPPORTUNITY · LEADERSHIP

We believe education is a powerful pathway to opportunity, independence and lasting social change. We support girls to access and continue their education through scholarships, essential learning materials, mentorship and opportunities for personal development. Our work also encourages girls to build confidence, develop leadership skills and pursue their aspirations, including higher education and vocational training.

2. Reproductive Health and Well-being
HEALTH · DIGNITY · INFORMED CHOICE

We promote the health, bodily autonomy and well-being of women and girls through reproductive health education, community advocacy and support for survivors of harmful practices. We work to prevent and eliminate female genital mutilation (FGM), address the impact of gender-based violence and promote access to appropriate physical and psychosocial support. We believe everyone deserves accurate information, compassionate care and the freedom to make informed decisions about their health.

3. Gender Justice and Social Empowerment
EQUALITY · SAFETY · PARTICIPATION

We advance the rights, safety and participation of women and girls by challenging gender inequality, harmful social norms and gender-based violence. Through life-skills mentorship, community engagement, leadership development and advocacy, we equip girls and young women with knowledge and confidence to understand their rights, make informed choices and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
