Feeding your baby from 6 months
From six months, babies need other foods as well as breast milk. Start soft, start small, and add variety.
Handwashing at key times
Washing hands with soap stops many diseases. A tippy tap makes it easy.
Making water safe to drink
Dirty water spreads diarrhoea and cholera. Boil, treat or filter water before drinking it.
Oral rehydration (ORS) for diarrhoea
Diarrhoea takes water out of the body. ORS and zinc replace it and help a child recover.
Planting drought-tolerant crops
When the rains are short, crops like sorghum, millet, cowpeas and green grams still give a harvest.
Starting a kitchen garden
A small garden by the door can feed a family greens all year.
Taking medicines safely
Take the right dose, at the right time, for the full course.
