The RWANU project uses the Mother Care Groups (MCGs) to promote key behaviors and practices related to health, nutrition, WASH, horticulture, family planning and health user rights. The Care Group approach is a well-known intervention that has proved effective as a means to achieve behavior change. Using this approach, key messages and behaviors are promoted during group sessions and home visits for individual counselling. The messages are kept short, simple and practical; each behavior is being promoted for a period of four to six weeks.
