Senegalese non-profit association
Our association is committed on a daily basis to improving maternal and child nutrition in Senegal
Our vision
In Senegal, inadequate nutrition of mothers during pregnancy and young children still leads to
chronic malnutrition and stunting in young children. Iron and vitamin A deficiencies in mothers and young children are also common, affecting the healthy development and long-term health of children. There is therefore a need to improve parents' knowledge of their child's nutrition so that they become actors in their nutrition.
The first 1000 days: a window of opportunity
From conception of the fetus until the child is 2 years old, the first 1000 days are recognized by the scientific community at the international level as a key period for nutritional intervention. Indeed, in addition to being a very important period for growth and development, this period can also condition long-term health and the future development of chronic diseases.
Our project is therefore to focus on the 1000 days while remaining in line with sustainable development goals.
