First 1,000 days
The first 1,000 days from conception to two years of age are critical to the health and development of a child. To make the greatest impact during this important time, our interventions:
- Improve quality of antenatal care (ANC) offered in the facilities
- Increase ANC attendance, and consumption of iron-folic acid supplements by pregnant women throughout their pregnancy
- Provide a package of care for women and newborns at delivery and in the postnatal period
- Promote exclusive breastfeeding and age-appropriate complementary feeding practices
- Provide micronutrient powders for children 6 to 23 months of age
Adolescent nutrition
Adolescence is the second greatest time of growth in a child’s life. Good nutrition helps adolescents thrive and learn. Our nutrition interventions include:
- Reaching in- and out-of-school adolescent girls with a package of nutrition interventions, including weekly iron-folic acid supplementation
- Nutrition education for both girls and boys
