First 1000 Days | Film 3: Sudha Becomes the Guide

As Sudha approaches the final days of her pregnancy, she has come a long way—from a first-time mother seeking guidance to someone who now feels informed and confident about her journey. In this film, Sudha shares what she has learned with her sister-in-law Ria, who is planning to start a family. Reflecting on her own experience, Sudha talks about how early guidance and the support of the ASHA team can make a difference even before pregnancy begins. Their conversation introduces the importance of family planning and pre-pregnancy care, while Sudha encourages her sister-in-law to connect with the ASHA team for detailed information and personalised guidance. The film captures Sudha’s transformation from a learner to a guide, showing how knowledge gained through one woman’s journey can be passed on to another—within families and across communities. Because when knowledge is shared, healthier beginnings become possible for the next generation. #First1000Days #UnitedWayBengaluru #Kenvue #MaternalHealth #FamilyPlanning #PrePregnancyCare #CommunityHealth #HealthyBeginnings
