فسیحہ صرف چھ ماہ کی تھی جب اس کی والدہ صبا جاوید اسے ملتان کے بینظیر نشوونما سینٹر لے کر آئیں کیونکہ وہ اپنی بیٹی کی کمزوری اور عمر کے مطابق کم وزن ہونے پر پریشان تھیں۔ سینٹر میں باقاعدہ چیک اپ، غذائی سپلیمنٹس اور دودھ پلانے و بہتر خوراک کے حوالے سے رہنمائی کے بعد فسیحہ کی صحت میں مسلسل بہتری آتی گئی اور آج وہ مکمل طور پر صحت مند ہو کر پروگرام سے گریجویٹ کر چکی ہے۔ یہ کہانی اس بات کی اہم یاد دہانی ہے کہ زندگی کے ابتدائی 1000 دنوں میں بہتر غذائیت بچے کی صحت مند نشوونما کے لیے کتنی ضروری ہے۔
