Overview

Mission

Engenderhealth envisions a gender-equal world where all people have the agency, resources, and opportunities to live healthy lives.(see schedule o)

What it reported doing in 2024

We deliver our programs by working in collaboration with individuals, communities, local organizations, health systems, and national governments to implement mutually agreed programs in the health areas described above. We achieve our program results through training, community engagement, strengthening service delivery, and supporting policy development. In fy25, engenderhealth continued its tradition of supporting training in and provision of high-quality comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (srh) services. (see schedule o)healthcare facilities supported by engenderhealth provided contraceptive care to an estimated 1.25m clients, generating an estimated 3.37m couple years of protection (cyps) and preventing 1,600 maternal deaths, 29,800 child deaths, and 430,400 unsafe abortions. Our work resulted in an estimated $127,839,100 of savings in direct healthcare costs that would have been incurred by families or healthcare systems if contraceptive methods and other clinical services had not been provided. In addition to contraceptive care, engenderhealth's project-supported health facilities provided more than 37,000 obstetric surgeries including fistula repairs. Engenderhealth also supported services for survivors of 95,135 gbv incidents. Engenderhealth reached more than 4.6 million people directly with information on srh and rights (srhr) in fy25, including messaging on contraception; maternal and newborn health; comprehensive abortion care; water, sanitation, and hygiene; gbv; and other elements of srhr. Engenderhealth trained more than 31,500 clinical staff and pharmacists, and more than 18,000 others (including community health workers, community leaders, government staff, military staff) across 17 projects. In fy25, engenderhealth had 31 active programs in 16 countries (benin, burkina faso, burundi, cote d'ivoire, the democratic republic of congo, ethiopia, guinea, india, kenya, madagascar, mali, mozambique, nigeria, rwanda, senegal, and tanzania). Extensive information about our projects, past and present, is included on our website at www.engenderhealth.org
