The Saabi campaign is equipping young couples in Nigeria with the right information and resources on child spacing. Whether we’re facilitating peer-to-peer research or launching ground-breaking behaviour change campaigns, we constantly help young couples to defy gender norms, take control of their futures, and become better versions of themselves.

reproductive

health rights

Access to reproductive health services is a human right for men and women. Everyone should have access to contraceptive services, sexual health treatment, and education on healthy child spacing. Together with our partners, the Saabi campaign has devised innovative solutions to ensure that young couples overcome barriers and live healthier, happier lives. When young people thrive, we collectively experience social and economic gains and decreased generational poverty.

Yes. Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect and understanding. It is important for couples to engage in discussions regarding contraception, allowing both parties to participate equally in decision-making. It not only shows their commitment to one another but also strengthens trust within their relationship.
