Healthy women are critical to the
survival and welfare of infants. UNICEF helps women protect their own health and
that of their children, improve nutrition, and learn new skills through training
and practical assistance.
They can learn to recognize basic health problems and to treat their children in
the home--quickly, safely, and economically, thus providing a safer environment
for their families and a better future for their children.
Projects have ranged from encouraging breast-feeding, instead of formula milk,
to safe motherhood programs and improving girls’ access to primary education.
