Knowledge
about appropriate feeding practices for
children under 2 is limited in communities
throughout Lebanon. Breastfeeding,
which is critical for the health of the
child, is often abandoned at an early age.
Alternative and complementary feeding is
often inappropriate.
The project will help in enhancing best
practices in mother and child health; building
on lessons learned from the emergency mother
and child health program conducted during
and after the war, as well as developing
the capacity of local NGOs in community
health and communication. It will raise
awareness among mothers in order to identify
threats to the health of women and children
in their communities.
The
main objective
To
empower beneficiaries with relevant skills
by providing documents that they can use
in self education/peer education towards
better health & survival of mothers
& children in poor marginalized communities
in Lebanon. To provide training & reference
materials that animators & community
workers can use in their health promotion
interventions.
