Empowering Girls, Building Futures in Waya Village

In Waya Village, Kasiya, under T/A Khongoni, young people are proving that change begins with action. Through the leadership of Youth for Active Participation, girls and boys are actively involved in the production of affordable sanitary pads, a simple but powerful innovation that is transforming lives.

With access to sanitary pads, girls no longer miss school during their periods. They can learn, dream, and thrive without interruption. This initiative is not just about pads, it’s about dignity, education, and equality.

Together, we are breaking barriers, ensuring that every girl has the right to education, and empowering youth to be the drivers of sustainable solutions in their own communities.

Join us in celebrating the resilience of Waya’s youth and supporting their journey toward a brighter, inclusive future. Because when girls stay in school, entire communities rise.

Too many girls in hard-to-reach rural areas like Waya Village continue to face unmet needs for modern contraceptives. This reality denies them the right to make informed choices about their bodies, their futures, and their dreams.

Barriers such as distance to health facilities, lack of youth-friendly services, stigma, and limited information leave girls vulnerable to early pregnancies, school dropouts, and cycles of poverty.

We believe every girl deserves:
- Access to modern contraceptives without shame or discrimination.
- Youth-friendly health services that respect dignity and confidentiality.
- A chance to pursue education and opportunities free from preventable challenges.

It’s time to break the silence, challenge harmful norms, and demand inclusive policies that reach even the most remote villages.

Together, we can ensure that no girl is left behind.

In Waya Village and surrounding communities of TA Khongoni, Lilongwe, too many vulnerable girls face barriers to accessing modern contraceptives. These barriers put their health, education, and future opportunities at risk.

We believe every girl deserves the right to make informed choices about her body and her future. By investing in modern contraceptives, we are not only protecting girls from unintended pregnancies but also empowering them to stay in school, pursue their dreams, and contribute fully to their communities.

Access to contraceptives is access to dignity.
Access to contraceptives is access to opportunity.
Access to contraceptives is access to equality.

Together, we can break cycles of poverty and inequality. Together, we can build a future where every girl in Waya Village and TA Khongoni thrives.

Join us in advocating for increased investment in modern contraceptives.
Stand with vulnerable girls.
Stand for their future.

𝒀𝑨𝑷 𝑹𝑬𝑭𝑳𝑬𝑪𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵 𝑶𝑵 𝑫𝑯𝑺 𝑹𝑬𝑷𝑶𝑹𝑻

The latest findings from the Malawi Demographic and Health Survey (MDHS) 2024 paint a sobering picture of the realities facing young people in our communities. Teenage pregnancies have risen from 29% in 2016 to 32% in 2024, with one in three girls aged 15–19 already experiencing pregnancy. Behind these numbers are lives disrupted, dreams deferred, and futures compromised.

While we acknowledge the commendable progress in reducing maternal mortality—nearly halved in less than a decade—this achievement cannot overshadow the urgent crisis of teenage pregnancies. In 2025 alone, one district recorded over 10,000 teenage pregnancies, alongside hundreds of unsafe abortion cases. These figures are not just statistics; they represent the daily struggles of our sisters, daughters, and peers in Waya Village and across Malawi.

As Youth for Active Participation, we believe the solution lies in investing in modern contraceptives and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education. Access to safe, affordable, and youth-friendly contraceptive services empowers young people to make informed choices, protect their health, and pursue education without interruption. Modern contraceptives are not merely a health intervention—they are a tool for social justice, gender equality, and economic empowerment.

We call upon government leaders, development partners, and community stakeholders to:
- Prioritize funding for modern contraceptives in both rural and urban health facilities.
- Expand youth-friendly health services that respect confidentiality and dignity.
- Integrate comprehensive sexuality education into schools and community programs.
- Engage young people in designing and implementing solutions that directly affect their lives.

Health is not just an expenditure—it is an investment in Malawi’s future. By ensuring that every young person has access to modern contraceptives, we can break the cycle of teenage pregnancies, reduce unsafe abortions, and unlock the potential of our youth to contribute meaningfully to national development.

The time to act is now. Our generation cannot afford to be silenced by preventable challenges. We demand bold leadership, sustained investment, and collective responsibility to safeguard the health and dignity of Malawi’s youth.
