Within a month, up to 20 different Nobo Jatra facilitators might stop by the Rahman’s home in Kusholia village, southwest Bangladesh. Their main goal: Reduce malnutrition in the region, particularly among women and children. There are a lot of factors that can contribute to poor nutrition – and the facilitators each have an expertise they use to make progress. A maternal health facilitator might stop by to track the growth of the Habibur and Fatema Rahman’s new baby, Habiba. A water and sanitation facilitator comes over to check on their new, clean bathroom and train the family on how to take care of it. And a disaster risk reduction officer pops by to ensure the family is saving money in the event of a cyclone, and that everyone in the family (even 13-year-old Beauty) knows their role in the emergency plan. “Before, I had no knowledge about taking care of myself during pregnancy,” says Fatema. “Now I know how to eat during pregnancy. I can take care of myself and my baby.” While she was pregnant, Fatema was often visited by Rumana, a Nobo Jatra nutrition facilitator who uses a pink bicycle to ride from house to house, educating pregnant mothers on how to care for themselves and their babies. Once the babies are born, she continues to check on the children and monitor their growth.
