The first 1,000 days of life are critical to a child’s life. With your support, we join communities as they create safe, healthy environments for mothers and babies to thrive.
We train community health volunteers to help babies and moms access pre- and post-natal care, including monitoring babies’ growth.
We teach parents about nutrition, encourage breastfeeding, and help families access vitamins and healthy foods as their child grows.
We support moms and dads through parenting classes, nutrition workshops, and home visits from health volunteers.
When you donate monthly, you give more babies and their mothers the best chance to stay healthy. Select the monthly giving option to make the biggest impact for the first 1,000 days and beyond.
