In rural Ghana, many women cannot get family planning pills due to high cost and poor supply in clinics. This project will provide 5,000 women with a three-month supply of oral contraceptives, along with private counseling from trained health workers. The goal is to reduce unplanned pregnancies, give women more control over their health, and support safer family spacing in low-resource communities.
Many women in Ghana lack regular access to family planning pills. Rural clinics often run out, and many cannot afford to travel or pay for private services. As a result, women face unplanned pregnancies, health risks, and loss of income. Limited access to reliable contraception contributes to school dropouts, poor health, and growing financial pressure on families already living in poverty.
This project will distribute a 3-month supply of pills to 5,000 women through trained health workers in rural areas. Women will also receive private counseling on safe use. Outreach teams will travel to hard-to-reach places and hold small group sessions to explain the benefits and use of the pills. Women will have more control over when to have children, with no pressure or risk of misinformation.
With better access to family planning, more women can space their pregnancies, finish school, or grow their businesses. Fewer unplanned pregnancies mean lower maternal deaths and healthier families. With time, the project can help more women take control of their health and improve their living conditions. Local health workers will continue to guide and support the women after the project ends.
