what we do
Our MissionFor Women
At What Women Want to Know, we are dedicated to empowering African women by bridging the gap in menstrual, reproductive, and maternal health. Our mission is to ensure every woman, regardless of background, has access to the healthcare, education, and support they need to lead a healthy, fulfilling life. By harnessing the power of technology and AI, we offer data-driven healthcare solutions, advocate for critical reproductive health issues, and provide accessible care for conditions like Endometriosis, PCOS, and maternal complications.
At What Women Want to Know, we believe in empowering the next generation of women. We implement programs focused on educating young girls about reproductive health, self-advocacy, and personal hygiene.
Our initiative includes workshops and mentorship programs led by trained Health Ambassadors who share knowledge and foster confidence, enabling girls to make informed decisions about their health.

Educate Women
Education is at the core of our mission. We provide comprehensive healthcare services through mobile clinics in rural and underserved communities, offering screenings, treatment, and referrals for conditions like Endometriosis, PCOS, and fibroids.
We partner with local hospitals to deliver subsidised consultations, ensuring women have access to essential healthcare.
Additionally, our AI-powered health platforms allow women to track their health, receive personalised advice, and connect with healthcare professionals via telemedicine.
Understanding the health landscape is crucial for effective interventions. We collect data from women about their health experiences, including menstrual cycles and pregnancy outcomes.
Using AI-powered analysis, we gain insights into the prevalence of conditions affecting women in different regions, informing our advocacy efforts and guiding policy changes.
This data-driven approach enables us to tailor interventions that address the specific needs of women in Africa, ultimately shaping a healthier future for all.

How We Do It
Patient Navigation
Navigating Africa’s complex healthcare system is a challenge, especially for reproductive health concerns like Endometriosis and maternal complications. Our patient navigation program supports women at every step of their healthcare journey—from diagnosis to treatment and recovery. By helping women understand their options and access affordable care, we ensure they are empowered with the right resources for their unique health needs.
Education & Outreach
We believe education is the first step toward health empowerment. Our outreach programs partner with local communities and healthcare providers to deliver vital information on menstrual health, reproductive health, and maternal care. Whether through in-person training sessions, digital resources, or online modules, we equip women with the knowledge they need to take charge of their health. Topics include understanding the menstrual cycle, recognizing symptoms of Endometriosis or PCOS, and maternal health best practices.
Support Services
Our monthly support groups provide a safe, compassionate space for women to share their health journeys and connect with others facing similar challenges. These sessions, led by healthcare professionals and peer mentors, foster open dialogue and emotional support, helping women feel less isolated as they navigate complex health conditions. Whether coping with Endometriosis, fertility challenges, or postpartum recovery, we’re here to provide hope and community.
