The Next Chapter of Young Champions of Maternal Health: The Next Generation of Ideas for Maternal Health

It is hard to believe that the Young Champions of Maternal Health only have one month left of their placements with Ashoka Fellows. They are currently gathering together in Accra, Ghana for the Young Champions Future Forum, where they are interacting with expert maternal health social entrepreneurs! This month the Young Champions continued blogging about their experiences with Ashoka Fellows around the world. As their program draws to a close, many of them reflected on their development as social entrepreneurs and contemplated how to make their Fellows’ programs and their own social ventures more sustainable. This incredible group continues to inspire others to actively pursue the improvement of maternal health around the world. Check out their informative and inspiring blog posts below. They will continue to blog about their experiences each month. Also, you’ll be able to learn more about Ashoka, the Maternal Health Task Force at EngenderHealth, the individual Young Champions, and the program here. Enjoy!
