About This Cause
Aya Contigo - digital abortion and contraception companion Meet Aya Contigo - A friend in your pocket. A multi-award winning app co-created with OB/GYNs, counselors, and users to power reproductive self-care. Aya Contigo is the flagship product of Vitala Global, a tech nonprofit co-founded by Canadian-trained OB/GYNs, Dr. Roopan Gill & Dr. Genevieve Tam. They have 20+ years of combined experience with several international NGOs including MSF and WHO. Aya Contigo first launched in 2022, amid Venezuelas humanitarian crisis and hostile reproductive rights landscape. The app was co-created with 1,000 users and a dozen local organizations in Venezuela. When Roe was overturned, we felt compelled to draw from our experience in Latin America to extend support to Latinas/xs in the US. We met one-on-one with 60+ reproductive health and rights organizations to understand the barriers faced by US abortion seekers. With support from Planned Parenthood, Plan C, pro bono counsel, and donors, we launched the US version of Aya in late 2023.
