This edition of MSH's Global Health Impact e-newsletter (subscribe) explores our worldwide work supporting healthy communities, families and kids, including:

• Mobilizing communities to care for orphans and vulnerable children in Lesotho;
• Empowering Ugandan couples with information and access to modern family planning;
• Training community health workers to provide TB services in rural Afghanistan;
• Supporting Kenya's efforts to utilize mobile technology for pharmacovigilance reporting; and
• Communicating strategically to influence health-seeking behaviors (i.e. proper use of bed nets).
