02.01.01 Mon projet contribue à l'objectif 'Pas de pauvreté'

7 - Tout à fait d'accord

02.01.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

Spending on health significantly affects spending of every income, directly impacting how much is available for other expenses. Our solution reduces expenditure on health and ensures families are not overwhelmed by several kids they can't take care of. We equally empower women to pursue their academics and careers, establishing before getting into reproduction thereby reducing poverty as many women become responsible for themselves and their families.

02.02.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

We believe our project somewhat contributes to reducing hunger as a controlled family size will mean reduced mouths to feed with the kids delivered according to the available resources that can give them a better chance at succeeding in the world without so much suffering

7 - Tout à fait d'accord

02.03.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

Sex is one of the riskiest behaviors known to man as many leading causes of morbidity and mortality known to man, including unplanned pregnancies that contribute to maternal mortality via unsafe abortions in a setting where abortions are illegal, incurable sexually transmitted infections, fertility issues, and sexual performance issues that plague relationships and couples with so much anxiety, discontent, low self-esteem and heartbreaking breakups.

02.04.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

Hundreds to thousands of women drop out of school yearly or are significantly distracted by unplanned pregnancies yearly with Cameroon recording over 500000 unplanned pregnancies yearly. Therefore giving women the chance to decide when to fall pregnant without being guilty of an abortion, dropping out of school, getting distracted at school, or dying from an unsafe abortion, ensures women remain in school while leading a fulfilling social life like their male counterparts.

Unplanned pregnancy is a known barrier to women both in academics and at work, limiting their progress and the ability to compete fairly especially in demanding lead roles or professions. By putting women in charge of their reproductive lives we are removing a significant barrier in both academic and professional settings allowing women and young girls to compete more fairly and equally for available opportunities.

05.08 Justification de mon projet

Unlike every other existing solution to family planning accessibility that has failed to curb the annual number of unplanned pregnancies and deaths from unsafe abortions, our services ensure affordable methods delivered at the comfort of homes after comprehensive expert consultations that ensure women go in for method that fits their health, desires and socio-cultural values.

05.09 Qui sont vos principaux potentiels concurrents et qu'est-ce qui vous différencie d'eux ?

We have platforms like Waspito, EasyHealth, and Nang providing sexual and reproductive services but not have been able to specifically solve the urgent problem of poor accessibility to family planning methods, a pain point we have identified and mapped out a context-specific solution for it.
