In the photo, our colleague marks the floodwater level, which rose above head height on the walls of a local health station. With support from the Government of Ireland, we are working to narrow the nutrition gap caused by the typhoon. (2 of 2) @irlembvietnam.

Supporting #breastfeeding narrows the #gendernutritiongap! Nutritional inequality puts non-breastfed babies at risk of malnutrition and severe complications. When pregnant women and nursing moms lack access to proper nutrition and healthcare the impact spans generations. #WBW2024

#Breastfeeding may seem like a mom’s job, but it does require family and community support. While only moms can breastfeed, dads can help by sharing household chores and caring for the baby, thus enabling the baby to receive life-saving resources from breastmilk. #WBW2024 @FHI360
