CARVE Africa (Creating Accessibility for Reproductive Values and Education) is a women-led, Malawian-registered NGO focused on menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Founded in 2018 as a grassroots, nurse-led initiative, we are headquartered in Lilongwe and work across Dedza, Mchinji, and beyond.

We deliver integrated MHH and SRHR education to youth aged 10–24 using our own evidence-based curriculum — covering menstrual health, contraception, HIV and STI prevention, bodily autonomy, and reproductive rights in one cohesive program. Sessions are built around games, storytelling, and interactive activities, creating spaces where young people feel comfortable asking questions, challenging stigma, and taking ownership of their health.

Our model goes beyond youth. We train nurses, community health workers, and school health teachers to become trusted, medically accurate sources of SRHR and MHH information in their communities — equipping them not just with knowledge, but with the skills to deliver it in ways that are engaging, non-judgmental, and culturally relevant. These trained leaders multiply our reach, embedding accurate health information in schools, clinics, and communities long after a program ends.

We collaborate with District Health Management Teams to strengthen referral pathways and integrate services into existing health systems. We also engage men, boys, parents, and traditional leaders — because lasting change requires shifting the whole environment young people grow up in.

In 2024, we reached over 10,000 women and girls. By 2027, we are working toward 300,000 youth reached with integrated MHH and SRHR education and services.
