The First 1,000 Days: Early Childhood Nutrition and Implications for Development in Rural Guatemala
This webinar with Population Connection discusses Seeds for a Future’s First 1,000-Day Program.
Proper nutrition is absolutely vital during the First 1,000 Days of life, from the start of pregnancy to the baby’s second birthday.
For generations, Rural Guatemalans have suffered with some of the highest rates of food insecurity and chronic malnutrition in the world. This has led to many children being born with severe health issues such as physical and mental stunting.
During this webinar, Seeds for a Future discusses the workings of its First 1,000-Day Program and the INCAP study backing the positive results the Program has had on mothers and infants.
