More than 222 million women and girls in sub-Saharan Africa do not have access to safe and voluntary family planning.
Nearly 90,000 women die each year from complications of unintended pregnancies. We believe this number should be zero.
Lafiya Nigeria enables access to safe family planning in northern Nigeria. By using a cost-effective and community-based distribution model, Lafiya Nigeria provides women and girls with access to contraception and information about family planning. We purchase and distribute an innovative, self-injectable contraceptive called ‘Sayana Press’ (or DMPA-SC) free of charge, which provides contraceptive cover for three months from a single injection. We have distributed over 300,000 doses so far.

At Lafiya, we're on a mission to make contraception accessible to anyone who needs it and wants it – no matter where they live. Through our network of dedicated female health professionals – our Lafiya Sisters – we provide information and deliver contraception directly to communities that need it most. Our approach is cost-effective, community-based, and deeply rooted in respect and agency. We operate in hard-to-reach communities that otherwise do not have access to contraceptive products and information. We currently run our core programme across four states in northern Nigeria, managing 280 Lafiya Sisters. In addition to our direct community work, we are building our own supply chain to address widespread supply challenges in Nigeria and are partnering with government stakeholders to realise sustainable financing models for the procurement of contraception. To date, we have supported more than 200,000 women through our innovative last-mile approach.
We're a fast-growing non-profit in the middle of a transition from start-up to scale-up. Our focus is on impact, cost-effectiveness, and ensuring our work enhances the dignity and agency of those we serve.
