Obirin Africa is an organisation which aims to raise awareness for issues affecting women from Africa and the diaspora such as period poverty, maternal mortality, sexual and gender-based violence amongst others. Furthermore, we hope to educate black women about their reproductive and sexual health in order to empower them to take control of their health and we want to elevate black women.
WHAT WE DO
Educate
Empower
Elevate
