Now, Jamila is happy to say that her health has improved. She is working with other women in her community on minding their children, growing food and rearing their cows. She is no longer afraid of family planning or getting pregnant, has gained healthy weight and can take care of herself as well as her children.

“I am happy that I’m strong enough to care for my children, and look for other sources of income. Thank you, Lafiya, because I’m now a woman of my own money!”

“Receiving free family planning services has given me hope and peace of mind. I no longer worry about becoming pregnant before my body has recovered. I can now focus on caring for my children, improving my health, and supporting my family.” – Balkisu
