🤱🏾 Meet Penina Saiguran, a proud mother of triplets from Nduruma Ward, Arusha. 💪🏾 During her pregnancy, Penina received close support and counseling from Israel, a dedicated Community Health Worker (CHW), who equipped her with vital knowledge on maternal health, nutrition, and breastfeeding. Thanks to this guidance, she experienced a safe delivery with fewer complications, a remarkable outcome for a high-risk pregnancy involving triplets. 🤱🏾 As we celebrate World Breastfeeding Week, Penina’s story reminds us of the power of timely information and community support in ensuring healthy beginnings, especially for mothers of multiples. @Irish_Aid @GlobalFund @wizara_afyatz @ortamisemitz 💚#WorldBreastfeedingWeek
