I got involved with this extraordinary organization in 2014, with the goal of supporting and empowering families through their journey from preconception, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and early parenting. From being a founder of the breastfeeding support program, vice chair of the executive board, to later consulting on strategy and planning it was a labor of love. Every family Birthkuwait has impacted makes it worth it.
Breastfeeding Friendly University Initiative-BFUI
Breastfeeding has long lasting health benefits for both mom and baby. However, many challenges can arise that can shorten the duration of breastfeeding. One of the most common challenges is having to go back to work or school. Through the implementation of BFUI we sought to help support breastfeeding mothers, specifically at Kuwait University by providing facilities and services that support the continuation of breastfeeding and overall promote mother-friendly policies on campus.
