This video reviews essential information about complementary feeding basics. In the video, Nomsa’s daughter presents a report in school about her baby brother and how her mom feeds them.

Stunting prevents children all over the world from achieving their full potential. The impact of stunting reaches far beyond height – it impairs a child’s brain development, performance in school, and learning ability for the rest of their life – and it can begin even before a baby is born.

We are committed to addressing the problem of stunting in collaboration with the DG Murray Trust, the Perinatal Mental Health Project, Philani Nutrition, the Western Cape Dept. of Health, UNICEF, and the South African National Department of Health.

The Grow Great campaign is a national movement to end stunting in South Africa by 2030. The Grow Great educational series, created by the Stanford Center for Health Education in collaboration with the Grow Great team in South Africa, promotes impactful health behaviors among caregivers during the most critical development period in a child’s life: the fi­rst 1,000 days (conception – 2 years old).
