Promoting Breastfeeding in Local Communities

Fundación Agrolíbano organized five breastfeeding sessions with the participation of 66 women from the Pregnant Women Club in El Porvenir and three health establishments in San Jerónimo, El Tular, and Guanacaste. These sessions highlighted the benefits of breastfeeding, such as optimal nutrition, strengthening the immune system, cognitive development, and the emotional bond between mother and baby. Practical activities were also conducted to support successful breastfeeding, contributing to the prevention of malnutrition, diseases, and reducing infant mortality. This initiative contributes to the SDGs 2, 3, and 5.
