Our Services

You can trust us to deliver on the services below

Child Protection Services

Through our work in child protection, resilience and risk reduction, we places the safety and well-being of children at the centre of our programming.

Sexual Reproductive Health

We offer a range of sexual and reproductive health services to ensure that women and girls have access to the information and care they need.

Health Services

In addition to reproductive health, we provide general health services to improve the overall health of women and girls in our communities.

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Services

The severe limitation of services, worsened by access constraints for women and girls due to extreme stigmatization and fear of reprisals, deprives GBV survivors of necessary multi-sectoral care and support.

Climate Action

SOMWO is actively advocating for climate action by raising awareness about the urgent need to address climate change and its impact on vulnerable communities.
