Commitment description
One of the ways we can achieve our goals is to utilize our more than 2,500 groups of community health volunteers across the globe. Each of these groups is led by a remarkable hero who is herself a mother, and works with at least ten other mothers in her community to encourage better nutrition through breastfeeding and diverse diets. We call these groups care groups. When one woman learns how to better care for her familyÂs health and nutrition in her Care Group, she shares that with others, and it cascades throughout the entire community. As our number of community health volunteers and care groups continues to expand, this important sharing of resources, woman to woman, family to family, will grow exponentially.
