Open House on World Breastfeeding Week 2026 🤱💛

On the occasion of World Breastfeeding Week 2026, Public Space Lab at Ladli, Sodala brought together women and young girls for an engaging Open House to discuss the importance of breastfeeding, maternal health, and infant nutrition.

The interactive session highlighted the life-saving benefits of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, the importance of colostrum (the mother’s first milk), and the vital role of families and communities in creating a supportive environment for mothers.

Participants also emphasized the need for safe, clean, comfortable and dedicated breastfeeding spaces in public places such as parks, markets, bus stands, railway stations, workplaces and community facilities. Every mother should be able to feed her infant with dignity, privacy and confidence while participating freely in public life.

Together, we are raising awareness, empowering women, and building healthier communities where every child receives the best possible start in life.

This World Breastfeeding Week, I-India, together with Public Space Lab, Ladli, and all our valued partners, proudly celebrates the extraordinary power of mothers and the life-saving gift of breastfeeding.

Across our schools, community centres and neighbourhoods, children, adolescents, young adults and women’s groups are coming together to spread awareness and champion every child’s right to the best start in life.

A mother’s milk is a baby’s first vaccine—providing complete nutrition, strengthening immunity, protecting against illness, and laying the foundation for healthy physical, emotional and cognitive development. Its benefits continue well beyond infancy, creating a lifelong shield of love, care and protection.

📌 Our key messages:

💛 For the first six months, babies should receive only breast milk—no water, honey, ghutti or any other food or drink.

💛 Never discard the mother’s first milk (colostrum). It is rich in antibodies and essential nutrients, offering priceless protection to newborns.

💛 Every mother deserves encouragement, respect and practical support to breastfeed successfully.

Together, let us build supportive families, caring communities and child-friendly cities where every mother has the confidence, dignity and enabling environment to practice optimal infant feeding.

Because when we support breastfeeding, we nurture healthier children, stronger families and a brighter future for all.

✨ A First Experience. A Lifetime Memory. ✨

Children of Ladli, I-India and Shwetaark Pathshala were invited by Le Passage to India (LPTI) for a memorable High Tea with corporate leaders at a five-star hotel in Jaipur.

For many of these children, who come from economically weaker families and underserved settlements, it was the first such experience in their families. The visit gave them confidence, exposure, happiness, and an opportunity to experience a different social and professional environment.

Our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Khalid Khan and Mr. Milind Verma for making this special opportunity possible.

Over the years, LPTI has created many meaningful experiences for disadvantaged children, including a memorable chartered-flight excursion under the leadership and patronage of Col. Anil Alagh.

Thank you, Le Passage to India for helping our children learn, explore, and dream beyond the classroom.

On , Public Space Lab releases its anthem video — it is a creative expression of young changemakers — their dreams, their courage, and their commitment to reclaiming public spaces for people, nature, and community life.

Because the environment is not only forests and rivers — it is also the streets we walk, the parks we share, the air we breathe, and the spaces where children, adolescents and communities grow.

This anthem is more than a song — it is a voice of hope, ownership, and action.

Public Spaces for All. A Greener Future for All. 🌱

Jaipur Through Young Eyes 🌸

Taking the conversation on inclusive public spaces beyond the classroom and into the city.

As part of the Safe, Vibrant and Healthy Public Spaces Project, led by WRI India and supported by Foundation Botnar, Public Space Lab / I-India organized an Open House excursion on the theme “Jaipur Through Young Eyes”.

Through this advocacy and awareness journey, adolescents engaged with the streets, monuments, communities, and different stakeholders of Jaipur — sharing their ideas, experiences, and voices for safer, healthier, and more inclusive public spaces.

This was not just an excursion, but a meaningful step where young people connected heritage with citizenship, observation with action, and public spaces with community ownership.

We sincerely thank our travel partner Le Passage to India (LPTI), Mr. Milind Varma, Head of Rajasthan Operations, Mr. Shivang Dhawan, and Jaipur Courtyard for their valuable support.

When adolescents walk through the city with purpose, every street becomes a space for learning, dialogue, and change. ✨
