We are still buzzing from the Abortion and Reproductive Justice Conference (ARJC) held in Nairobi last week. It was inspiring to be in such a progressive space with an eye on the future of safe abortion access and reproductive justice. Thank you to everyone who attended our side event and came to chat with us at the SAAF booth – we loved meeting so many dedicated activists!
We were delighted to also take this opportunity to support attendance at the conference for 90+ of our grantee partners and gather for a pre-meeting:
“I really appreciated the opportunity to interact with other SAAF grantees. It was insightful to learn about the different work they are doing around safe abortion, each using unique approaches to advance the same goal.”

Grantee partner spotlight
SAAF has been supporting Community Health Initiative (CHI) in Liberia since 2022. Since then they have trained 150 health care providers on client-centred, high-quality abortion and post-abortion care and supported thousands of women to access reproductive healthcare and support in some of the most under-served communities in Liberia.
You may have seen the interviews with CHI’s staff members and volunteers we recently shared on our website – if not, check them out in English, French and Spanish.
“I do this because I believe in hope, I believe in collective work. I do this because the women and girls of this world, especially Liberia, deserve better and if we sit down and don’t do anything, we are as bad as the people who are harming them, so we need to stand up”.
