Michael Odong, SBC Advisor for USAID's RHITES,N-Lango Project in Uganda, conducts a training for Volunteer Health Teams (VHTs) of the Maternal and Child Health Wheel of Life SBC tool in Dukolo, Uganda to support interpersonal communication.

The Wheel traces the different behaviors a woman and family should follow for good health of the mother and the newborn child. VHTs will use the tool in home visits with pregnant women and new mothers in the Lango region. The tool was adopted from USAID's Nutri-Salud in Guatemala.
