Mission & Vision

2. Ensure that breastfeeding becomes a norm and is the standard feeding practice for all children from birth until 2 years or beyond. 

3. Ensure that all mothers get urgent help and assistance to address their breastfeeding problems by engaging in home visit counselling services conducted by trained lactation activists (Lactation Counsellors or Breastfeeding Peer Counsellors). 

4. Appreciate and create awareness on the presence and function of lactation activists in our community.  

5. Take care of the welfare of certified Lactation Counsellors or Breastfeeding Peer Counsellors by giving them allowances for their indispensable service, which would also be intrinsic motivation to continue their advocacy in successful breastfeeding.
