KAYT helped Hellen Angom to improve her household nutrition

 Twenty-three-year-old Hellen Angom lights up as she reaches to adjust her dress, enabling her 2-month-old baby to suckle from her breast. “My baby is healthier than my two-year-old, who I didn’t breastfeed well due to the lack of knowledge I had at the time,” she says. “I’m very glad that I was one of the beneficiaries KAYT mentored to learn more about child health and nutrition when I was expecting. I have since learnt a lot of things concerning nutrition which I’m putting to good use.”

Hellen is among the mothers in her community who have recently benefited from KAYT mentorship program for pregnant and lactating mothers which was implemented using a social behavioural change approach. The programme was implemented across three parishes of Kiru town council in Abim district, these included Kalakala, Oyaro and Kiru.
