Breastfeeding within one hour helps protect newborns from infections and improves their chances of survival, especially for premature babies.

Healthy mothers. Healthy babies. Stronger communities.

Together with mothers, health workers and community members in Galkacyo, we marked by raising awareness about the life-saving benefits of early and exclusive breastfeeding.

When mothers are supported to breastfeed, babies have a healthier start in life and communities grow stronger.

Ahmed is the leader of a disability organization in the Galgudud region of Somalia. In the video, he talks about how participating in education strengthened his self-confidence and gave hope to him and other disabled people.

Through education, the stigma and exclusion targeting people with disabilities were reduced, and obstacles that hindered their access to help and services were removed.

❤️ With the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and donors, we are making lasting changes in the lives of children and parents in Somalia.
