Community Empowerment Lab

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ Preparing today’s trainers to shape tomorrow’s care.

From April 28–30, 2025, over 70 frontline health professionals came together under the Feeding Support Package Plus Transition to Home (FSP+TTH) for a high-impact Training of Trainers (TOT)—a crucial step in preparing for the transition to improvised home-based care for preterm and low birthweight (LBW) newborns.
These trainers will now go on to empower 1700+ community health providers, scaling up care and support for newborns and their families across communities.

🔑 Key training components:
✅ Breastfeeding & milk expression
✅ Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC)
✅ Family-centered counseling
✅ Use of the newborn care “passport”
✅ Growth monitoring
✅ WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene)
✅ Early danger sign recognition

This was more than skill-building. It was the start of a cascade model to ensure that every baby, no matter how small, receives informed, compassionate, and community-rooted care.
