Proud to announce the launch of NOURISH in Rwanda! This project will strengthen ANC systems and scale #MMS and calcium nationwide As technical assistance partner, SAL will work with @NutritionIntl, @CIFFchild & @RBCRwanda to embed sustainable maternal nutrition into routine care

When mothers and children have access to good nutrition, the impact goes beyond health — it strengthens economies, reduces poverty, and helps communities thrive. Nutrition isn’t optional; it’s essential for sustainable development. #MaternalNutrition #ChildNutrition

Proud to see the Sight and Life team contributing to the growing body of evidence on #MaternalNutrition. This study provides valuable insights as Rwanda scales up #MMS, reminding us that both data and lived experiences must guide our path forward.

📢 New Publication Alert! We’re pleased to share the publication of our new paper in @Nutrients_MDPI 📍Read the full paper here: mdpi.com/2072-6643/18/3… #MaternalNutrition #MMS #Rwanda

Our Egg Hub model in Ethiopia has helped women 3x their income & improve their families’ nutrition, but without electricity, that progress is at risk. Your donation will equip farmers to boost egg production & secure their livelihoods. Donate here: lnkd.in/eZWJy_wF

We’re raising $44k to install solar panels across our Egg Hub sites in Ethiopia! Power cuts reduce egg production and income for small poultry farmers. These solar panels will help protect livelihoods and boost productivity of our Egg Hub farms. Donate: gofund.me/13c1527b2

This afternoon, Dushimimana Lambert @DushimimanaL, the Governor of Western Province, officially launched an open day in Rubavu district. 🎉 Organized by JADF ICYEREKEZO/Rubavu, the event aimed to showcase the role of various partners in the development of the district and province in general. It is a partners’ fair combined with a regional producers’ fair. The Nutrition in City Ecosystems (NICE) played a crucial role in organizing this event and had a dedicated stand to display its activities. NICE has been praised for its role in reducing the number of cases of #stunting. In collaboration with partners (including NICE), Rubavu has significantly reduced stunting, lowering rates from 41.6% to 23%. 👏🏿 #UrbanNutrition #NiceNutrition

We are pleased to be featured alongside @FMoHealth in an article discussing the case for investing in nutrition in this month’s Ethiopian Business Review (@EBRnews). 🇪🇹 “Ensuring optimal #nutrition in all stages of life would lead to improved nutritional status, quality of life, longevity and productivity which, in turn, are key to ensuring economic growth”📈 @DrMeseretZelalem “Investing in the health and nutrition of mothers helps break the intergenerational cycle of poverty and malnutrition. There is an urgent need for focussed investment for mothers during pregnancy”🤰🏽 @sufiaa Solutions to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty and malnutrition, like MMS, already exist. We need to make them available to pregnant women in LMICs across Africa and Asia. EBR is available on stands across Addis Ababa now, or read the article here 👇🏾 #MaternalHealth #MaternalNutrition #ChildHealth #SAL4MMS #InvestInNutrition

Today, on International Day of Rural Women, We proudly joins the world in celebrating the incredible strength and resilience of rural women. We are committed to empowering them by ensuring access to nutrition, economic opportunities, and skills development. Happy #IDRW

#Throwback to the #HiddenHungerCongress and on our poster presentation on breakfast skipping in #adolescents. Recent evidence on #DietaryPatterns in LMIC reveals that 40% of teenage girls skipped breakfast. Breakfast skipping is a risk factor for #anemia and takes a toll on adolescents' #MentalHealth. Regular #breakfast consumption has been associated with ⬆️ academic performance, ⬆️ overall diet quality and ⬇️ risk of being overweight.
