You might think some of the participants in the pictorial show below are not paying attention to the discussion. Hold that thought! This was a photojournalism training session, one of the practical components with Community WASH Champions from Ntchisi, Kasungu, and Mangochi districts during a community journalism engagement held under the Time to Deliver Women’s Health Campaign, spearheaded in partnership with WaterAid Malawi.
The activity strengthened the Champions’ working relationships with members of the media and Health Promotion Officers, enabling them to use the media for advocacy by amplifying voices to improve WASH and safe motherhood at their healthcare facilities.
