    • These demonstrations focus on essential aspects such as breastfeeding techniques, complementary feeding, and dietary diversity.
  2. 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.
  3. Empowering Caregivers:
    • LeKMA engages parents, caregivers, and community health workers.
    • We equip them with evidence-based information and skills to enhance feeding practices.
  4. Monitoring and Support:
    • Regular follow-ups ensure sustained adherence to recommended feeding practices.
