What you can do

Everything in one quiet place.

01

Ask anything, privately.

Talk it through with Afya, our AI guide, by text or hands-free voice. Answers are short, kind and grounded in the WHO Family Planning Handbook, with the source shown every time.

  • Live voice conversations stay ephemeral
  • Clear guardrails — Afya never diagnoses or prescribes

02

Explore every option.

Plain-language guides to each method — effectiveness, how long it lasts, hormones and common experiences — and a side-by-side view to weigh the trade-offs that matter to you.

  • No “best” method, only the right fit for you
  • Myth checks for the things people worry about

03

Find trusted care nearby.

See verified clinics with opening hours, languages and services — and talk privately with a verified counsellor when you want a person, not a bot.

  • Location is only used if you switch it on
  • Expert chats are end-to-end encrypted on your device

04

You stay in control.

Choose what Afya keeps, how it speaks and what shows on your screen. Discreet mode keeps notifications neutral, and you can delete your data whenever you like.

  • Every optional use has its own switch
  • Delete your account from inside the app

How it works

Three small steps, at your pace.

  1. 1

    Create a private account

    Pick a username and password. Add only the details you want — everything else is optional.

  2. 2

    Ask, explore, compare

    Get grounded answers, read method guides and save questions for later.

  3. 3

    Take the next step

    Find a clinic or talk to a verified expert — only when you decide.

Privacy is part of care

Your information should never speak louder than you do.

AfyaFamily is built around consent and discretion. Programme staff only ever see privacy-protected group totals — never your conversations or personal choices.

  • Choose what you share

    Analytics, research, location, history and reminders are separate, optional switches.

  • Discreet by design

    Neutral notifications and a one-tap quick exit that hides sensitive screens.

  • Small groups stay hidden

    Reports suppress any group under five people.

  • Delete anytime

    Remove your account and personal data from the app or by request.

For programmes & partners

One platform, made local.

Health programmes run AfyaFamily with their own languages, clinic networks, consent notices and vetted knowledge — and learn what people need through privacy-safe insight into method interest, uptake and continuation.

Questions

Good to know.

Is AfyaFamily free?

Yes. The app is free to download and use.

Do I need to give my real name or phone number?

No. You create an account with a username and password. Your age is asked so guidance fits your life stage; reports only ever use age bands.

Is Afya a doctor?

No. Afya is an AI guide that shares educational information grounded in WHO guidance. It does not diagnose, prescribe or replace a trained provider — and it will point you to care when that matters.

Who can see my conversations?

Programme staff never see your conversations. Text history is saved only if you choose, live voice is not stored, and chats with verified experts are end-to-end encrypted on your device.

What languages are supported?

English, Kiswahili, Hausa, Amharic, Français and Yorùbá. You can switch at any time in the app.

How do I delete my data?

Open the app, go to You → Privacy & research → Delete my data. You can also request deletion here.

What if it's an emergency?

AfyaFamily is not an emergency service. If you may be in danger, contact local emergency services or go to the nearest health facility.

Support that stays close, quietly.

Free on iPhone and Android.
