Mothers Telling Mothers: A Storytelling Approach to Improving Maternal Health Outcomes in Uganda

Work by Twezimbe Development Association has found that stories told by mothers in their own words and reflecting shared realities are most likely to increase the number of moms seeking skilled health care, and convince policymakers to improve healthcare access. This project will capture 3 to 5 minutes stories to be shared through digital media platforms and health clinics. We enable pregnant women to record their experiences in receiving healthcare, and provide platforms to share their powerful stories with peers and policymakers to improve services and increase the number of pregnant women who seek medical care.
