Every mother deserves a safe pregnancy.
Every baby deserves a healthy start.
But in India, far too many mothers and newborns are still fighting for survival:
- One woman dies every 2 minutes due to preventable pregnancy-related causes (WHO India, 2023)
- 1 in 3 children under 5 suffers from chronic malnutrition (NFHS-5, 2021–22)
- Only 42.6% of mothers begin breastfeeding within the first hour of birth (NFHS-5, 2021–22)
The first 1,000 days, from pregnancy to a child’s 2nd birthday, shape a lifetime of learning, immunity, and growth.
With the right nutrition and care, futures change.
Without it, the cycle of malnutrition continues.
