We have a brand new website!

With thanks to SAAF partners who provided input, we are pleased to launch the new and improved SAAF website ([link removed])

The new site has improved information, navigation, and is available in SAAF's three working languages - English ([link removed]) , French ([link removed]) and Spanish ([link removed]) .

SAAF will be accepting funding applications in early 2022

With thanks to our donors for their continued support, we are delighted to announce that SAAF will be launching a new round of funding in late January 2022.

We will be accepting applications from organisations working on all aspects of abortion rights and care in low and middle income countries across the world.

SAAF welcomes new board members

As we say thank you and farewell to outgoing SAAF board members, we are delighted to welcome three new additions to the SAAF board:

- Mamello Makhele is a nurse-midwife and She Decides Leader in Lesotho
- Rawan Raad is a medical student and Program Coordinator at the Institute for Reproductive Health and Rights in Sudan
- Eugenia López Uribe is the Regional Director of IPPF Americas and the Caribbean

“I take great pride and honor in serving as a SAAF board member. SAAF is one of the few global funds focused on enabling and supporting grassroots organisations to build momentum towards de-stigmatizing, promoting, and increasing access to safe abortion.”

Grantee partner spotlight - Si Mujer

SAAF has been providing funding support to the Si Mujer Foundation, ([link removed]) based in Cali, Colombia, since 2017. Si Mujer not only runs a feminist clinic providing a range of sexual and reproductive health care services, but also delivers an extremely successful youth leadership programme.

We were lucky enough to interview Si Mujer's staff and young leaders about how they continued to work on abortion rights despite facing strict COVID-19 lockdowns and political unrest in Colombia. Read their stories ([link removed]) on our new website.

"We are having these conversations to change the way people see abortion"
