1,000 days

Poor nutrition during early life can irreversibly stunt growth and brain development. IMPACT Cambodia's child and maternal health programme focusses on the first 1,000 days of life; from the start of a woman's pregnancy to a child's second birthday.

Working with deprived communities, IMPACT Cambodia is boosting the diets of pregnant women; promoting breastfeeding and good practice in infant feeding; and providing ante and post natal care.
