Ladies For A Cause, unite!

Women of purpose come together to support the mission of the Children's First 1000 Days Coalition

- JOHN ROLAND LEGASPI

A child's first 1,000 days of 270 days life in the mother's womb and 730 days after birth is a sacred window. During this critical period, the foundation of a child's lifelong health, well-being, and cognitive abilities are established. That's why proper nutrition for both the child and the mother is essential during this time.

To help at-risk Filipino mothers get the support they need and secure a brighter future for their children, Republic Act 11148, or the "Kalusugan at Nutrisyon ng Mag-Nanay Act, was enacted in 2018. In 2019, the law was put into action through the establishment of the Children's First 1000 Days Coalition (CFDC).
