SafeHands for Mothers
SafeHands for Mothers鈥� vision is a world where no woman dies in pregnancy and childbirth. They work to achieve this through the production of films; documentaries that raise awareness of important issues such as female genital mutilation, obstetric fistula, child marriage, family planning and HIV/AIDS, and films which educate and inspire frontline health workers, women and their communities. These films are fundamental in disseminating vital health messages visually in countries with high rates of illiteracy. They can be shown in remote and isolated areas, where there is little or no electricity, through SafeHands for Mothers鈥� innovative solar-powered media players, carried in backpacks and weighing less than 5 kgs. SafeHands for Mothers has so far reached an audience of one million across sub-Saharan Africa.
