🌿𝐒𝐕𝐏 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐢 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬’ 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 Foundation for Mother and Child Health India - 𝐅𝐌𝐂𝐇 The Mumbai Partners visited FMCH in Kurla to witness their inspiring work of providing personalised nutritional care to every mother. FMCH empowers vulnerable families with timely and actionable information on maternal health and nutrition, ensuring healthier choices in the first 1000 days of life. In 2022-23, their dedicated team reached 35,000+ families, conducting 171K+ hours of counselling and 7,500+ group sessions, moving nearly 80% of children out of malnutrition. The visit began with an interaction with Kalindi Joshi and Shubhangi Bhoite, who shared FMCH’s holistic model. Partners then stepped into the community - witnessing home visits, counselling sessions, and nutrition education with practical cooking demos using affordable, local ingredients. The deep rapport between mothers and field officers was evident, as officers guided them with resilience and empathy, enabling them to make the best use of available resources. The visit concluded with reflections on learnings and the impact of FMCH’s work in breaking the cycle of poverty through better maternal and child health.
