HHI’s proud to team with HealthPhone to provide educational content to mothers of children age zero to three in India. A portion of HHI’s mother training will soon be available to mothers in India via video on mobile phones.
This is great news for millions of new mothers and their babies in some of the most rural and underdeveloped areas of the world. HealthPhone’s technology allows us to provide life-changing content to millions mothers and in that way better the lives of millions of babies we would otherwise not be able to reach.
HealthPhone content is distributed through microSD card which can be viewed on the majority of the more than 867 million mobile phones currently in use in India. The project will launch in Maharashtra in the coming weeks and plans to distribute the microSD cards to expectant mothers and those with children under the age of two across that state. The information can be viewed without a cellular connection and at no cost. This means that mothers will have their own personal health and nutrition video reference library, in her own language, to look after herself and her children and family. She can use it when she wants, where she wants, without a connection or cost. Amazing!!!
“HealthPhone is excited to have Hands to Hearts International’s instructional video, in 24 languages, added to our library of resources for millions of mothers in India”, said Nand Wadhwani, Founder of HealthPhone and The Mother and Child Health and Education Trust. “It furthers our joint goal of providing quality health education that is both meaningful and supportive to marginalized mothers.”
HealthPhone makes health and nutrition content created by HHI, UNICEF, WHO, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNDP, UNAIDS, WFP and The World Bank easily viewable on mobile phones, available in up to 60 different languages – all at no cost and without the need for a cellular connection! They are genius, and we are honored to be a part of their efforts to educate, empower and save lives! http://www.healthphone.org/
