They did it! It’s been a year worth celebrating!

First birthdays are full of emotions. Parents feel joy when they think of the amazing memories. They may feel sadness as they realize how quickly time passes. Families reflect on the journey that culminated in this moment.

For Davi, Asrat and Yasmina, moms in the Nurturers program, the reflection also brings relief. Relief because their children made it this far, and gratitude because they didn’t have to do it alone.

You walked alongside these mothers and babies during this critical first year. Thank you!
