Support for Pregnant Women

Propose a strategy and awareness-raising tools on the care and support that pregnant women need (antenatal visits, nutrition, avoiding physical strain).

An anthropologist had carried out a study shedding light on the beliefs that help explain why many women waited one or two trimesters before their first antenatal visit, why pregnant women were not eating enough, and why they kept doing exhausting work right up until delivery.

Based on these findings, I proposed a strategy for raising awareness among women and those around them, designed a visit-aid guide, and trained the field workers.
