Abstract
In conjunction with St John Zambia, this collaborative UKRI GCRF-funded Life-Saving Lullabies project has defined, developed and delivered a zero-cost service intervention that is sustainable and responsive to the current and future maternal child health (MCH) needs in Lusaka, Zambia. It works by supporting St John volunteers based in Chunga and Kayosha to create lullabies in their local languages that they then perform to women as part of their outreach work in the community and to those who visit maternity clinics. The songs are a memorable way to convey important information about birth and childcare, but the onset of coronavirus means that songs are now being created that relay the importance of other precautions, such as social distancing. The project has now been recognised by the Good Design Awards 2020 in the Best in Class for Social Impact.
