🤱 Every child deserves a healthy, sustainable start in life.
This World Breastfeeding Week, we're celebrating what works.
💙 Breastfeeding counselling can increase exclusive breastfeeding by 58%.
💙 Baby-Friendly Hospital practices can increase exclusive breastfeeding by 45% at six months.
💙 Paid maternity leave and workplace support help more mothers continue breastfeeding.
For families living in Nairobi's informal settlements, breastfeeding can be made harder by poverty, limited support, and daily survival challenges.
At Tushinde Children's Trust, we work alongside caregivers through our Family Support Programme and community partnerships to strengthen child nutrition, support parents, and give every child the opportunity to thrive.

Foster child S was rescued by community members in Kiambiu when the mother attempted to kill him at Kiambiu River. The community alerted the area Child Protection volunteer, who took the child to Kamkunji children's office, which referred the case to Tushinde and the child was then placed in foster care.
When he first arrived, S had severe developmental delays and had experienced significant trauma. But over the past year, everything has changed.
With the unwavering love and patience of his foster mother, alongside trauma-informed counselling and ongoing support, S has blossomed into a vibrant, joyful, and responsive child.

Stories like S's remind us why family-based care matters and how foster care is a critical lifeline for children facing crisis, offering not just protection, but hope, stability, and the chance for a brighter future.

If you have ever considered becoming a foster parent, your home could be the safe place that changes a child's life.

A child's wellbeing does not stop at home. 💙
A snippet of our Safeguarding Lead carrying out a routine school visit. These visits are done to check in with children to understand how they are doing and ensure they have the support they need to learn, grow, and thrive.
This particular visit was about addressing concerns of school truancy but every visit is a chance to listen, protect and act in the best interests of the child.
