SayPro Global Health and Development
Public Awareness and Analysis: Maternal, Newborn, Child Nutrition and Health
At SayPro, we believe that the health and wellbeing of mothers, newborns, and children are the cornerstones of sustainable development. Our Global Health and Development program works to raise public awareness, strengthen data-driven analysis, and advocate for inclusive, life-saving interventions in maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) and nutrition.
Our Focus
1. Maternal Health
Every mother deserves a safe pregnancy and delivery. SayPro addresses the barriers that prevent access to quality maternal healthcare, including:
- Antenatal care awareness campaigns
- Training for community health workers
- Advocacy for respectful maternity care and emergency services
We promote policies that reduce maternal mortality and improve access to skilled birth attendants, especially in underserved areas.
2. Newborn Care
The first 28 days of life are critical. SayPro supports evidence-based practices such as:
- Immediate and exclusive breastfeeding
- Clean delivery environments
- Newborn resuscitation and postnatal care
We amplify messaging on early detection of complications, kangaroo mother care, and access to neonatal services.
3. Child Health & Nutrition
Child survival depends on proper nutrition, immunization, and timely healthcare. SayPro:
- Promotes awareness around the importance of immunization and micronutrient supplementation
- Conducts community-based education on child feeding practices
- Supports initiatives to combat stunting, wasting, and underweight conditions
We engage families and caregivers with culturally sensitive information to ensure children not only survive but thrive.
