At Makino School of Continuing and Non-Formal Education, Sam Higgingbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, ASHA= Asian Sustainable Holistic Approach, runs projects that support breastfeeding and nutritious advancement, especially for the betterment of village infants and children’s food habits.
In U.P. State, a state with one of the highest infant death rates, the village women raise their children without solid knowledge on how to correctly do so, or what the healthy eating habits are. Moreover, many mothers in the villages often give birth to their children in non-sanitized environments. The public administrations do not necessary intervene on these problems, and often times, many villages do not have the transportation access to get to the public administration center to receive the aids and services.
Parallel to our organic farming and family education popularization projects, we must consider the advancement of breastfeeding and improvement of infant food habits for the sake of these children’s future. Furthermore, we investigate the actual conditions of the villages, and collaborate with the administrative body, the public organizations, the dominant figures of the villages, and the mothers of the infants themselves, to work on projects to improve the health of the villagers, and to aim forl villages where children can grow healthily.
