FH partners with governments, philanthropies, communities, churches, and local leaders to build the health resilience of vulnerable people by enabling them to access the improved health and social services necessary to survive and thrive. We work with communities to support physical health in children and families through training and educational workshops on topics such as early and exclusive breastfeeding. We provide access to health and nutrition screening and treatment to assist families in implementing preventative measures to keep children healthy, safe, and well-nourished. 

Targeting action during the powerful, 1,000-day window between pregnancy and a child’s second birthday, FH supports the long-term physical, emotional, and cognitive development of vulnerable women and children. FH employs an evidence-based, innovative Cascade Group social and behavior change platform. Through this platform, community-based volunteers are educated, equipped, and mobilized to become health educators. This method leverages existing social networks to empower mothers to act as community leaders, educating and engaging their neighbors and friends on vital topics.
