Mamas del Río is a story of determination and collaboration that has transformed entire communities. It arises from the desire to bring medical care to remote communities, beginning the design of its journey in 2008 with the AINBO Project (woman in Shipibo) project and evolving through collaborations and cultural adaptations. She began evaluating the impact of Medical Ships in Loreto in 2012, discovering the vital need to empower communities.
In 2015 and 2016, the focus was on improving maternal and neonatal health by working with technologically equipped CHWs. From 2017 to 2021, the evaluation of the program was carried out, concluding that Mamas del Río is an effective intervention that improves maternal and child health, expanding to the Colombian Amazon with Mamas de la Frontera. The project encompasses critical actions such as citizen access to government social programs and promotes lasting change in community health, recognizing CHWs as essential in the health system.
