From Distribution to Practice - Tom Brown in Action!
After receiving kitchen utensils, our Lead Mothers, together with some caregivers, took a bold step forward in Konduga and Gajigana, preparing Tom Brown by themselves with the guidance of our dedicated CNMs.
The grains were shared among caregivers for future use, ensuring that each household has enough to continue preparing Tom Brown at home for their children. It was a joy to see some caregivers feeding their children immediately with the freshly prepared meal, a true reflection of how knowledge and resources translate into healthier lives.
This moment captures more than just cooking; it shows ownership, sustainability, and impact. Lead Mothers and caregivers are now fully equipped to carry this forward in their homes and communities, fighting malnutrition one bowl at a time.
We had some wonderful snapshots of these moments, proofing that change is happening right where it matters most.

Have you noticed? When it is hot, babies want to breastfeed more often.
You can offer the breast more frequently to ensure they stay hydrated. You don’t need to give babies under 6 months additional water or formula – even in hot climates.
And don’t forget to look after yourself too! Remember to rest, stay out of the heat and drink more water.

Do you know that some viruses cause cancer? Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes many types cancers, one of which is cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is among the commonest cancers in African women. With HPV vaccine, we truly stand a chance to end cervical cancer. #VaccinesWork
Universal Health Coverage (#UHC) is a journey. If you want to embark on this journey, the best and most durable vehicle to use is primary health care (#PHC). With a strong #PHC system, countries can progress faster towards UHC. #BeAnAdvocate#SpreadTheMessage#HealthForAll
Did you know that Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is all about making healthcare accessible without causing financial hardships?
It's a key part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), striving for quality healthcare for all. Unfortunately, so many people face crippling health expenses, just like in Nigeria.
Nigeria's health spending stats are eye-opening, with out-of-pocket expenses at 74.68% and government budget allocation lagging behind international benchmarks. Let's work together to make healthcare affordable and accessible for everyone!

#Nigeria’s health care spending is largely out-of-pocket. At this level, the country will not be able to equitably improve life expectancy or reduce maternal and child mortality. @LHSSproject Nigeria supports the government to expand health insurance coverage. #UHC#Time4Action
