In this episode, we have a short radio drama in Samburu. The drama covers how a newborn should be put onto the chest of the mother skin-to- skin immediately after birth, to keep the baby warm, to promote bonding, and early breastfeeding.
This radio drama was used in the Nkaing’onisho campaign. This is a 5-year project (2016-2020) funded by USAID. The goal is to provide enhanced access and utilization of quality Family Planning, Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health (FP/RMNCAH), Nutrition and WASH services in 2 counties (Samburu & Turkana) in Kenya.
This project was implemented in partnership with Africa Medical Research Foundation (AMREF), Communities Health Africa Trust (CHAT), The Inter-Religious Council of Kenya (IRCK), Centre for Behaviour Change and Communication (CBCC).
Nkaing’onisho means hero in Samburu Language.
