This project proposes to empower parents and care givers in rural communities, by providing information about ante natal and pre-natal practices as well as parenting for holistic development of children in the first 1000 days of life through animated videos. The videos will be based on a guide book on Learning Through Play (LTP) developed by Bala Mandir Research Foundation (BMRF) and the Network for Information on Parenting with support from UNICEF. This guide book pictorially depicts significant milestones in specific domains and includes age-appropriate psycho-social messages and parenting messages on nutrition, health and safety. SPEECH proposes to integrate the text and the pictures into animated videos with technical support from BMRF. These videos will include information on maternal health as well as practices to enhance cognitive development and psycho-social well-being from birth to two years, and used by implementing partner, SPEECH to reach out to the community.
