We're on a selfish mission to address critical gaps in maternal healthcare access across rural and underserved communities. It fulfills us to make a difference where it's needed most.
In rural communities, pregnant women face significant barriers to healthcare, resulting in higher maternal mortality rates. Inshuti ya Mama bridges this gap by providing crucial health information through technologies accessible in remote areas.
By delivering personalized health information in local languages through SMS and WhatsApp, we empower women to make informed decisions about their pregnancy and postpartum care, recognizing warning signs and seeking timely medical attention.
We collaborate closely with local healthcare workers, community leaders, and traditional birth attendants to ensure cultural relevance and effectiveness. Our solution complements existing healthcare infrastructure rather than replacing it.
With our evidence-based approach, we want to achieve measurable results: increased antenatal visits, higher rates of facility births, and improved newborn care practices. We want to continuously measure outcomes to refine and enhance our services for maximum impact.

Mothers can register for our service through a simple SMS or WhatsApp message in their preferred language. No smartphone or internet connection required.
