MILK Educational Program
MILK Educational Program
According to UNICEF and WHO, 2.25 MILLION children die every year due to malnutrition, of those, over 800,000 babies die every year due to not breastfeeding. And OVER 280,000 women die every year due to complications during pregnancy and birth
Climate-caused migration is affecting hundreds of millions of people internally displaced or stateless people, many of whom are children. Since 2020, the number of people displaced due to natural disasters and extreme weather events jumped to 30.7 million.
The Milk Education Program will focus on emergency preparedness for young families and how marketing impacts infant feeding decisions.

In partnership with La Leche League Türkiye and the support from the TELUS FUND & Filmblanc, we are pleased to offer a series of MILK screenings followed by a training session.
On 6 February 2023, Southern Türkiye was hit by two powerful earthquakes in the space of 12 hours. Tens of thousands lost their lives and many more were left homeless in the middle of a cold winter. In natural disasters women and children are particularly vulnerable.
Supporting breastfeeding saves lives. Improving the awareness of good practices regarding Infant Feeding in Emergencies (IFE) and what is required for timely, appropriate support and to minimize risks during a humanitarian response is a key. The Milk Education Program will focus on emergency preparedness for young families and health care professionals.
