Empowering mothers, saving lives: Meet the game changing lives in Nigeria!
In year 2023 we have witnessed the power of video games to create social impact; while In Nigeria, a silent battle against infant mortality continues. BabyThrive is rising to the challenge, empowering mothers with the knowledge they need to raise healthy babies. This interactive hidden object and picture puzzle game tackles a critical issue: educating young mothers about breastfeeding and nutrition.
We developed this app in collaboration with the Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Texas at Austin, local health workers and communities in Nigeria. The game goes beyond traditional methods. By using engaging narratives and relatable stories, it delivers accurate information aligned with IYCF guidelines in a way that resonates with mothers.
Here's what makes this game a game-changer:
Fun and engaging gameplay: No more dull lectures! Mothers learn through interactive puzzles and relatable scenarios, making the process enjoyable and effective.
Culturally sensitive: Understanding the local context is crucial. The game was developed hand-in-hand with communities, ensuring its content resonates with mothers and their families.
Evidence-based: Knowledge is power. The game provides accurate information based on UNICEF guidelines, equipping mothers with the tools they need to make informed decisions about their children's health.
Effective: Mothers who have played the game report increased knowledge retention and improved breastfeeding practices, demonstrating the game's real-world impact.
The results are clear:
- Expert rating of 4 out of 5 for impact, information, and engagement.
- 88% of early users find it easy to use, informative, and enjoyable.
Currently the game has been scientifically validated and has gone into a clinical trials. This is a remarkable achievement for everyone.
we at PixelArt Games Academy is proud to have executed this amazing project, and we would like to thank Mercy Sosanya and Dr. Jeanne Freeland-Graves from the Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Texas at Austin, for their trust in us.
We would also like to express our gratitude to Schlumberger Foundation Faculty for the Future Fellowship for funding the project and the Federal Ministry of Health, Nigeria, for granting permission to adapt the IYCF training package for Nigeria. Center for Family Health Initiative also assisted with data collection.

PixelArt Games Academy is Pakistan’s First Games Academy. We provide a collaborative learning experience in game design & production, game programming, digital art & animation, all led by local and international industry professionals.
About PixelArt Games Academy:
Digital skills are the future of today’s world, and we are in a dire need of adding skill sets and embracing bigger tech industries in Pakistan. The 92 billion dollars worth game industry is rapidly growing, it's bringing newer technologies like robotics, VR & mixed reality into education, medicine, architecture, automotive and more. It can play an important role in promoting our culture, art and creative ideas on a global scale. As much as we can benefit economically by advancing in this industry, the growth of our industry in Pakistan has been hampered by the lack of innovation and knowledge for creating engaging interactive content. We don’t have a platform in Pakistan where we can learn these tools and technologies to work on our innovative ideas.
PGA with its training spaces, collaborative learning programs, and game lab, is bridging the gap between academia and the industry, we conduct training, courses, workshops, seminars, and conferences, all across Pakistan. The academy is building the right environment for innovators by providing a collaborative learning experience which not only trains for technical skills but also offers the soft skills like communication, leadership, public speaking, and the ability to build complete products independently with diverse teams.
Our scope includes community development, R&D for new technologies, capacity building, local industry collaboration, international industry exposure & visibility. PGA advisory board consists of 8 people from around the world and also connects young talents in Pakistan with international mentors.
Our programs also address the significant gender gap in the game industry by maintaining 33% ratio of females. Our students are empowered to build their games, & develop confidence, whilst working in the industry, we prepare talents for the emerging games and transmedia industry in Pakistan
