Giving Women Choices

By Giving List Staff | September 18, 2026

Dr Larmina, a clinical officer checks a patient's blood pressure at the MSI Afghanistan Clinic, Kabul, Afghanistan. 20 April 2024. The USP of MSI Reproductive Choices is women-led healthcare. By employing local expertise, having an Afghan-led management team, and employing hundreds of women healthcare providers across the country, MSIA ensures the continuation of women’s healthcare, navigating significant political upheaval and restrictions on women’s movement. These local female providers mean that women can continue to access essential healthcare, with the current restrictions that mean women are unable to access healthcare with male providers.

In Afghanistan, education is restricted past the age of 12 for girls. MSI Reproductive Choices has an internship program there that gives women whose medical, nursing, or midwifery education was interrupted a path to complete their clinical training.

This is essential as women cannot receive care from male providers. A $2,000 gift can help one woman become a qualified healthcare provider. MSI is seeking $500,000 to support 250 interns, with the next cohort beginning in October.

There’s still time to help keep this vital pathway open.

After USAID Cuts, MSI Remains a Lifesaver

MSI is raising money for their Choice Emergency Fund, to make up for cuts in foreign health aid. MSI relies less on the U.S. government than others and is standing strong, but needs to replace $20 million in promised funds. They welcome donations of all sizes. MSI is efficient with your dollars: your gift of $5,000 provides a year of contraception for 1,000 vulnerable young women. That’s tremendous impact and one of the reasons MSI United States, the U.S. 501(c)(3) supporting MSI Reproductive Choices, has such high ratings with outside charity evaluators.
