Simavi

Basic health for all

Simavi is an international development organization. In 2020 Simavi wants to have fundamentally improved the health of 10 million people. Health is a prerequisite to get out of poverty. Therefore, Simavi works in marginalized communities on water, sanitation and hygiene, and on sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Simavi’s strength lies in bringing together communities, businesses and governments – in the countries in which it operates and beyond. For only by sharing knowledge and experience, Simavi can contribute to a sustainable basis for a healthy existence. As such, Simavi is always looking for collaborations that brings them closer to their mission: basic health for all.

Since February 2014, Women on Wings works with Simavi and Rutgers on a program called ‘Making periods normal’ which aims to improve the situation in India regarding menstruation. The program ‘Making periods normal’ has a duration of three years.

“Through this partnership with Women on Wings, we want to enable more women to earn their own income that will give them greater financial means to improve their livelihoods. Economic independence for women means more children can go to school, more meals per day for their families and communities, and an overall better standard of living for them and future generations”
