In Senegal, family planning programs are facing severe challenges due to cuts in international aid. In coastal areas like Golfe, where life is deeply connected to the sea, women's vulnerability due to frequent pregnancies is increasing. Storms and poor fishing harvests exacerbate their situation, depriving them of income and livelihoods. The organization 'MSI International' is facing a funding gap that threatens its operations. Women like Aïssatou Diallo and Adama Faye share their experiences. Diallo, a mother of seven, suffers from health complications after repeated births and credits contraception with changing her life, allowing her to expand her restaurant. Faye, with two children, wants a three-year break to recover and seek employment. Despite local efforts and government goals to improve reproductive health, the future of these programs is at risk due to planned further aid cuts from the UK. The local MSI clinic, serving around 28,000 people, struggles to even provide basic medical supplies.
