Simavi is an independent international non-profit organisation, striving for a world in which basic health is accessible to all. For almost a century, they have been working for a healthy and equal world in regions where this is far from self-evident. Simavi does this because they believe that everyone deserves the right to a healthy life. Society benefits from strong women and girls who can pursue their rights to a healthy and equal life. They know from experience that empowered women and girls don’t just improve their own situation but also that of those around them. Simavi creates the right conditions for women to voice their priorities and participate in decisions through, for example, education, policy influencing and access to facilities. With integrated programmes that are proven to be effective, they ensure lasting change. Their programmes have a unique focus on both the fundamental rights to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Resulting in women with a state of physical, mental and social well-being and therefore a healthier society. Powerful women, healthy societies.
