A digital counseling service called SMS BIZ, also known as U-Report, was introduced in Mozambique in October 2015. The goal of the project was to create a safe place for adolescents to ask questions and seek counseling on topics generally counsidered taboo in their communities. The text message-based program preserved the anonymity of the adolescents and encouraged them to ask trained counselors questions on any subject. Though this program was not nutrition focused, practitioners could adapt for nutrition counseling.
