गर्भवती महिला, पहिलो प्राथमिकता
Pregnant women are the first priority.
From pregnancy through the postpartum period, we work to create safer, more supportive experiences for mothers in communities, public spaces and services.
Pregnancy should never mean facing the world alone.
Pregnancy is one of the most vulnerable phases in a woman's life, yet it is also a time when she is expected to keep moving through the same world, spaces and systems as before.
During pregnancy and the postpartum period, women may need more care, understanding and support. Yet everyday experiences, from travelling in public transport to accessing health and public services, can still be uncomfortable, unsafe or difficult. These challenges can be even greater for women who have fewer resources, limited support or face barriers in accessing essential services.
Aama Surakshya Nepal exists to make motherhood a safer, more dignified and more supported experience. Our work begins with a simple belief:
Every mother deserves to feel safe, respected and supported.
Making space for mothers.
We imagine a Nepal where maternal care does not stop at the hospital door.
We want to see mother-friendly change in communities and public spaces across Nepal, where pregnant women are not expected to simply adjust to systems that were never designed for them.
Four ways we make pregnancy safer.
Care
Supporting women and families through pregnancy and early motherhood.
Awareness
Building knowledge around maternal health, wellbeing and supportive caregiving.
Mother-friendly environments
Making public spaces, services and everyday experiences more supportive for mothers and babies.
Advocacy & systems change
Working with communities, institutions and governments to create lasting change for mothers.
What does a mother-friendly Nepal look like?
Examples of mother-friendly change from our work.
Change begins by listening.
Listen
We listen to pregnant women and understand what makes pregnancy difficult in everyday life.
Understand
We work with communities, health professionals and institutions to understand the barriers.
Act
We create practical responses that can improve women's experiences.
Advocate
We take learning from communities into conversations with institutions and local governments.
Grow
We build partnerships so good approaches can reach more women and more places.
Small changes. Bigger possibilities.
Our work goes beyond awareness. We work with women, families, communities, service providers and institutions to turn maternal health needs into practical support and lasting change.
What we are changing.
Every number represents a woman, a conversation, a changed behaviour or a step toward a more supportive system.
From an idea to a growing movement for maternal dignity.
Aama Surakshya Nepal is established.
Listening to the everyday experiences of pregnant women.
Community health support, awareness and maternal identification initiatives.
