Improving access to maternal healthcare and reducing malnutrition for 1,000 women and their children in Bajura, Far West Nepal: April 2022 – March 2025.
The Start Strong Project improves access to maternal healthcare, supporting families to grow more diverse crops, rear improved breed poultry and cultivate mushrooms, while educating local communities about the importance of nutrition, enables mothers in remote Rugin and Bichhaya to give their children a strong start in life.
We can now report back on the last 12 months. All the mothers selected for the Start Strong Project have shown a positive attitude towards the Project and by providing access to maternal health services and agricultural resources they really need; we are able to support them to give their children a strong start in life with better health and nutrition outcomes.
By supporting Female Community Health Volunteers and Traditional Healers to better identify childhood illness and malnutrition and have better knowledge of the Golden 1,000 Days – key stakeholders are also empowered to ensure that malnutrition and lack of access to maternal healthcare is no longer an everyday concern in their community.
We are proud to report that we have been scored A’ by our FCDO partners – Mannion Daniels for our first year of the Start Strong Project – a great achievement despite the natural disasters in Bajura.
