PROVEN INTERVENTION TO BE DISTRIBUTED

Sayana Press injectable contraceptive.  

Learn more about the Sayana®  Press Challenge and why training health providers to administer Sayana® Press can be particularly valuable for women who prefer injectable contraceptives but don’t have regular access.

 

DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION

HERWO will utilize a peer-led model to ensure last mile delivery of Sayana Press, a self-injectable contraceptive, to adolescent girls and young women in fishing communities of Mukono district Uganda. The model is unique because it will adopt a peer-led, youth-friendly model to reach out to adolescent girls and young women in fishing communities who have the highest unmet need for modern contraception.

HERWO was started in January 2020 by Monica Bagaya, Diego Izizinga and Timothy Ssebuliba.
