Life-saving Infant Feeding Programme Zambia
Organization information
MAITS - Multi-Agency International Training and Support
Location: London, United Kingdom
Summary
MAITS' life-saving infant feeding programme supports high-risk babies to breastfeed. We are fundraising to run this in Zambia where the infant mortality is 40 per 1,000 births in 2018. Globally, complications for premature babies are the main cause of death in under 5's, (1 million deaths/year, roughly half occurring in sub-Saharan Africa.) Most premature babies will have difficulty breastfeeding. MAITS trainers & master trainers work directly with mothers & babies to establish breastfeeding.
