"At the center, Efelina saw some women in labor being referred to the district hospital for delivery, owing to a shortage of surgical gloves. The closest hospital was approximately 9 miles away, and most of the women had already walked almost that distance from their homes to the health center."

“THIS [ayzh pink purse] IS REALLY MINE?” Context: Our Clean Birth comes packaged in an attractive jute bag that mothers can take home and reuse as a purse. In our own internal evaluations of mothers' experiences with our products, most women responded to the jute bag and the sanitary napkins with happiness.

"The birth kit was very helpful. We were happy, because we had everything in hand, and the kit was available. So mentally I was comfortable: 'I have everything. I am prepared.' "

“It is very effective to use these disposable kits instead of autoclaving the instruments at the PHC level as individual care ensures quality too!”

"I like everything about the JANMA KIT, would not change anything. Everything that is needed is in the kit, we do not have to search for any supplies or ask the aayamma to bring anything. So, one can just take the kit and use it. We don’t use the blade as of now but there are times when the scissors also don’t work here and that is the time the blade that is part of the delivery kit would be useful."

We believe it is possible to address the solving world’s problems around women’s health only by eliminating the definitions like customer, funder, distributor, and replacing them with one term “partner”. the ayzh model relies heavily on our ability to partner. Building on the wide reach of the strong networks, we are able to extend our reach to the most under-served regions of the world.

"As my knowledge and expertize in my field has grown i see that there is compelling desire for low cost, quality health products customised for the developing world. Hospitals, small clinics and the women themselves see a sustainable solution to their needs. We see this need as encompassing the entire women's health cycle; reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent, and are determined to meet these needs while empowering underserved women, helping their families and communities thrive."

"why is it that we take for granted the most important person - the person responsible for bringing us into this world - just because she expects nothing, she does not speak up. Often is a simple, useful thing that could bring happiness to women who go through much hardship. We need to change the status quo, and soon."

"I came to ayzh after completing my Masters in Electronic Media with the wish to put media and communications to work in the area of maternal health. I get great satisfaction at ayzh as I can multi-task, using different skills throughout the day. Meeting the women and hearing their stories drives me to find solutions".

The smile and strength of every woman I've met in places of poverty and hardship inspire me every day in my work. Each day at ayzh is an opportunity to "think big" and apply a creative and entrepreneurial spirit towards a more sustainable and equitable world. At a pivotal moment in history. I am thrilled and privileged to be a part of a passionate team.
