The whole concept of family planning has always been viewed as a woman issue, that's the reason I decided to focus my messages towards men so that they can also get involved in family planning activities … [education] has changed the perception of many men about family planning. —Female religious leader

I am happy that my community regards me as a family planning pastor. I am not ashamed to talk about family planning to the congregation wherever I get a chance. Many couples that I have encouraged to use family planning methods are now using the methods because as a teacher of the word of God they believe in my words. … I have been able to refer more than 100 clients to the health facilities for family planning methods … I have become a daktari meaning a doctor of family planning. —Male religious leader

I referred one of my clients who had 7 children to the health center for an implant and her husband no longer quarrels her and insults her for “having many children like a rat.” I am happy when my clients are happy. —Male religious leader

Before I started distributing pills to clients at my house, some of my clients used to have difficulty accessing the pills from the health facility since they had no approval from their husbands. Currently my clients can tell their husbands that they are coming to borrow something like salt or a pair of scissors from me and they get a chance to collect pills from me. —Female CHV

I give my clients family planning pills during our monthly merry-go-round women's meeting [voluntary savings and loan association]. They don't have to travel to the health facility. —Female CHV
