Heights and Minds International Project – June 2023 Update
We are still making a difference. We are combating stunting caused by malnutrition by working with NGOs in Bandung, West Java. Starting in June 2022, your Club has been funding 50% of the operating costs for what is called a MindUp. Our funding helps provide training and resources used to help mothers and infants. We have a local Rotary partner, Bandung RC, who visit the project regularly. There are now MindUps in Senegal, Uganda, and Cambodia, but the one we support has been so successful as to become the flagship MindUp and they are sharing best practices and lessons-learned with all the other MindUps. Good job!
How does it work? The MindUp provides group counselling services for first 1,000 days of a child’s life. They monitor and record growth of the children and teach mothers how to improve their caring and feeding practices.
This month, we started our second year of support to the MindUp and it should be self-sufficient by June 2024. How’s that for sustainability? You can find out more about the project by checking out our previous update at: https://stockholminternationalrc.wordpress.com/…/fight…/
