Every child deserves the best possible start in life.
At Grow Great, we believe the first 1 000 days of a child’s life are the most important. This time starts during pregnancy and continues until a child turns two years old. What happens during these early days can shape a child’s whole future.
During this time, children need good nutrition, love, care and stimulation. Simple things like healthy food, breastfeeding, talking, playing and responding to a baby all help build a strong foundation for life.
Stunting happens when a child does not get the right nutrition and care and becomes too short for their age. But stunting is not just about height. It can affect how a child learns, grows and stays healthy. The good news is that stunting is 100 percent preventable when we act early.
Grow Great believes support should begin before a baby is even born. When mothers are healthy, informed and supported during pregnancy, babies are more likely to grow well.
Through the Grow Great Flourish programme, mothers and mothers to be attend antenatal and postnatal classes where they learn about nutrition, breastfeeding and how to care for their babies with confidence.
Through the Grow Great Champions programme, trained community health workers support families in their homes and help connect them to clinics and health services when needed.
The earlier we support families, the stronger children grow.
