Muzalema Mwanza is the founder of Safe Motherhood Alliance, an organization established after her own personal experience during childbirth, to advance safe births in underserved communities.  A social entrepreneur, civil engineer, and health advocate, Muzalema is removing anxiety from the birth process by rebuilding trust between communities and clinics. She works to ensure that mothers do not compromise their own safety and that of their newborns in under-resourced clinics as well as during home births that may be far from a safe health facility. In this context, Muzalema trains birth attendants to improve the quality of care and safety in both clinic and home births across Zambia. She is a Mandela Washington Fellow, an Obama Leader Africa Fellow, an Africa Prize Finalist, and an Ashoka Fellow, Slush Global Impact Accelerator winner in Finland, and a YHER Africa Accelerator winner, and she has been featured on the BBC and she is also an Echoing Green Fellow. Muzalema believes community support is important as her goal is to promote social empowerment through education around sexual and reproductive health for women. These systems change processes once implemented in communities will evolve the role of unskilled birth attendants into skilled birth attendants scaling their overall potential to replicate clean birth practices. Her business model has unique potential to make significant contributions to critical research gaps surrounding the cost effectiveness of baby delivery kits.
