safe Space Allies Organization

Our mission is that every person deserves to live a life free from stigma and discrimination to have the opportunity to thrive, irrespective of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

The Safe Space Allies Organization (SSAO) is a local non-profit organization established on 10th January 2022 during a General Meeting in Lilongwe District. This gathering brought together concerned marginalized population members, including Key Populations seeking additional support and services beyond what existing organizations provided. SSAO was officially registered on 2nd October 2023 under the Laws of Malawi. The organization complies with statutory requirements, ensuring transparency, accountability, and sustained service provision. It addresses issues related to HIV/AIDS, human rights, sexual and reproductive health, economic empowerment, harm reduction, drug use, tuberculosis (TB), sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC). The goal is to improve health and rights awareness for Key Populations in Malawi.
