What is Tupange?

Tupange is a program in Kenya created to boost contraceptive use and family planning. Unlike many other programs around the world, the leaders of Tupange are proud of their work and are not afraid to start conversations that others are afraid of. Leaders like Rose are forthcoming with their pasts, and the open atmosphere encourages involvement while challenging cultural stigmas. One of the most important lessons Melinda learned from her visit to Tupange is the importance of having male allies when fighting for family planning and female empowerment.
