This initiative focuses on improving maternal and child health in Bhavnagar and Gir Somnath in Gujarat, Dhule and Washim in Maharashtra, and Rajsamand in Rajasthan. Based on the World Health Organization’s definition of self-care, the project recognizes the role of individuals, families, and communities in promoting health, preventing disease, and managing well-being. It aims to enhance the overall well-being of new mothers and integrates self-care into childhood development, affirming that health is a fundamental right.

The initiative engages young mothers in rural communities through innovative outreach programs, including traditional street plays, a variety of educational activities, and door-to-door engagements that bring vital health information and services right to their doorsteps. This direct approach ensures that the benefits of self-care and health education reach every household, aligning with Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s commitment to ‘Health For All.’ The program’s extensive reach in these regions helps to empower mothers and caregivers, enabling them to take charge of their own and their children’s health effectively.

Initially known as ‘Reach Each Child,’ the program reached over 268 villages across five districts – Nandurbar and Amravati in Maharashtra, Rajsamand in Rajasthan, and Gir and Bhavnagar in Gujarat. Since its inception last year, the program has reached over 70,000 children under the age of five and the initiative has reached over 4 million mothers throughout the region. Now, transitioning to Self-Care, the program aims to extend its reach to 10 million mothers. ‘

Celebrating International Mother’s Day with Self-Care Theme Song
The International Mother’s Day the program has launched one of its central elements of this initiative: an empowering theme song “Maa E Maa,” which encapsulates the spirit of maternal strength and resilience.

By empowering new moms with agency and promoting hyper-local practices, we are developing a culture of empowerment and resilience within the communities.”

The program also follows WHO’s guidelines to prevent major childhood diseases like Diarrhoea and Pneumonia, utilizing the 7-point plan for Comprehensive Diarrhoea Control and the Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia and Diarrhoea (GAPPD). In addition, the counseling provided by ‘Gulabi did’ helps in the identification and referral of diarrhoea and pneumonia cases which are some of the most common causes leading to infant deaths in the region, and helps enable prioritized and prompt management of these conditions throughout the region.

Commenting on the program Mohammed Asif, Executive Director of Plan India, said, “Our approach is rooted in empowerment through education. ‘Self-care for new moms and kids under 5’ is in line with our commitment to equipping mothers with the tools and understanding necessary to take proactive steps in their and their children’s health, enabling a holistic prevention-based approach to care and contributing to a robust future for our country.”

Through this initiative, Reckitt in partnership with Plan India has taken extensive efforts ranging from the establishment of health camps to the deployment of mobile health units that deliver primary care services directly to the doorsteps of those in need. These efforts are complemented by digital platforms, and audio-based content to explain self-care concepts that provide essential health information and services, ensuring widespread reach and impact.

Pride Mobile App Launches Crowdfunding Campaign to Overcome App Store Challenges

Pride Mobile App Launches Crowdfunding Campaign to Overcome App Store Challenges

Lake Panasoffkee, FL, July 06, 2024 — In an increasingly digital world, mobile apps have become essential tools for fostering connections and support within communities. Pride Mobile App, a platform dedicated to connecting LGBTQIA+ businesses with the broader community, has been a beacon of inclusivity and support. However, recent challenges have led to the app losing access to both major app stores due to insufficient funds for necessary updates. In response, a crowdfunding campaign on Fundly has been launched to secure the resources needed to bring Pride Mobile back to life.

The Mission of Pride Mobile App

Pride Mobile App was created with a clear vision: to provide a platform where LGBTQIA+ businesses can connect with their community. The app offers features such as:

– Business Listings: A comprehensive directory of LGBTQIA+ owned and friendly businesses.
– Event Listings: Information about local and national events supporting the LGBTQIA+ community.
– Resources: Access to mental health support, educational materials, and advocacy information.

By creating a centralized hub, Pride Mobile aims to foster economic empowerment, community engagement, and mutual support within the LGBTQIA+ community.

App Store Challenges

Despite the app’s positive impact, maintaining its presence on major app stores has been challenging. Both Google Play and Apple’s App Store have strict guidelines and regular update requirements to ensure security and functionality. Unfortunately, due to a lack of funds, Pride Mobile has been unable to implement the necessary updates, leading to its removal from these platforms.

Financial Hurdles

Maintaining and updating a mobile app requires consistent financial investment. Development costs, security updates, content moderation, and compliance with app store guidelines all necessitate funding. For a niche app like Pride Mobile, securing traditional funding sources has been particularly challenging. Investors often favor high-return ventures with broad market appeal, making it difficult for mission-driven projects to attract the necessary financial support.

Launching a Crowdfunding Campaign on Fundly

In response to these challenges, the community has been called upon for support. A crowdfunding campaign on Fundly has been launched, aiming to raise the funds needed to update and relaunch Pride Mobile on both app stores. The campaign can be found at [Fundly: Pride Mobile App](https://fundly.com/pride-mobile-app).

Why Fundly?

Crowdfunding platforms like Fundly allow direct engagement with the community that benefits from the app. By appealing to individuals who believe in the mission, the necessary funds can be raised while also building a stronger, more engaged user base.

How to Help

Supporters, allies, and the broader community are called upon to help reach the fundraising goal. Contributions can be made through:

– Donations: Every contribution, no matter how small, brings the goal closer.
– Sharing: Spreading the word about the campaign on social media, with friends and family, and within networks.
– Engagement: Participating in community forums, attending virtual events, and staying connected with the app.

The Impact of Support

Supporting the Fundly campaign will help to:

– Reinstate Pride Mobile: Ensure the app is updated and complies with app store guidelines, making it available once again on Google Play and Apple’s App Store.
– Support LGBTQIA+ Businesses: Provide a platform for businesses to reach their community and thrive.
-Foster Community Connection: Maintain a safe and inclusive space for users to connect, share, and support one another.

Conclusion

The journey of Pride Mobile App has been filled with both triumphs and challenges. While losing access to major app stores has been a significant setback, the commitment to connecting LGBTQIA+ businesses with their community remains steadfast. With support through the Fundly campaign, these challenges can be overcome, ensuring that Pride Mobile App not only survives but thrives, fostering connection, support, and empowerment for years to come.
