Safer Motherhood & Child Survival #Philippines

Our '1000 Days' programme in the Philippines cares for women and their babies from conception right through to a child's second birthday.#

This photo was taken in Bayani, where women gathered together to learn about birth spacing and personal hygiene. The team in the Philippines also gives advice and information about preventing malnutrition. Children are also followed up to insure that they receive immunisations and they are monitored to ensure that they are healthy.

The period from conception to a child's second birthday is a critical time, and inadequate nutrition can cause irreparable damage to physical and mental development. To find out more about our Safer Motherhood and Child Survival, and Ending Malnutrition programmes you can head to our website.
