In a concerted effort to promote optimal nutrition for infants and young children, the Ledzokuku-Krowor Municipal Assembly (LeKMA) is partnering with local communities. Here’s a glimpse of our collaborative initiative:
- Community Demonstrations:
- LeKMA is organizing practical sessions in selected communities to demonstrate proper infant and young child feeding practices.
- These demonstrations focus on essential aspects such as breastfeeding techniques, complementary feeding, and dietary diversity.
- Awareness and Education:
- Through community gatherings, LeKMA disseminates knowledge about the importance of early nutrition.
- We emphasize exclusive breastfeeding, timely introduction of complementary foods, and balanced diets.
- Empowering Caregivers:
- LeKMA engages parents, caregivers, and community health workers.
- We equip them with evidence-based information and skills to enhance feeding practices.
- Monitoring and Support:
- Regular follow-ups ensure sustained adherence to recommended feeding practices.
- LeKMA collaborates with health facilities and community leaders to provide ongoing support.
Together, we strive to nurture healthy, thriving children by fostering informed feeding choices.
