Thriving Up Initiative

We were delighted to host the YALI RLC × USAID team from Accra, Ghana, at our space last weekend. We had the opportunity and the most amazing time walking them through our vision, strategy, various programs and activities that are strategically targeted at accomplishing our vision and set goals and objectives with the team. We were thrilled to showcase our past and present impacts through a series of presentations. The exchange was enriching, and we appreciate the team's interest in our work. It was an absolute honor to host @yaliwestafrica × @usaid.nigeria team and explore potential areas of collaboration. For Thriving Up Initiative, it's always a time for us to make continuous impact to the society, driving change to humanity and seeing that every newborn has a chance to not only survive but to thrive. . . . #newborns #infants #thrive. #survive. #usaid #yali #flourish. #grow. #develop. #nurtured2thrive. #breastmilk. #breastfeeding #nourish. #nutrition. #hygiene. #cordcare. #umblicalcord. #immunization. #babies. #postnatal #nurture. #thrivingup. #newborn. #motherhood. #nigeria. #africa

DID YOU KNOW? Newborns spend their first weeks of life adapting to their new environment? The outside world is very different from the womb, where the temperature is constant and noise is muffled. You can help your baby get used to the outside world by giving them warmth, love, security, attention – and plenty of cuddles, smiles and gentle talk. . . . #infants #thrive. #survive. #flourish. #grow. #develop. #nurtured2thrive. #breastmilk. #breastfeeding #nourish. #nutrition. #hygiene. #cordcare. #umblicalcord. #immunization. #vitamins. #prenatal. #neonatal. #childhood. #babies. #postnatal. #care. #healthcare. #love. #nurture. #thrivingup. #newborn. #motherhood. #nigeria. #africa
