Photos at a nutrition class in Tildanga village in southwest Bangladesh, where nutrition facilitators run courtyard feeding sessions for local moms and babies. During the sessions, families enjoy each other’s company while learning about the best foods for their growing children. In southwest Bangladesh, something as simple as making sure your newborn baby gets enough of the right food to eat can be a problem. Health and nutrition indicators in this region reflect these challenges: 26.8 percent of children under 5 are stunted and 17.4 percent are wasted. One of every five women between the ages of 15 and 49 are underweight. That’s why Nobo Jatra – a five-year development and food security program implemented by World Vision and funded by USAID – holds regular courtyard nutrition sessions in villages across southwest Bangladesh. At these sessions, mothers gather to enjoy community, feed their children together, and learn from one of Nobo Jatra’s nutrition facilitators. At this complimentary feeding demonstration, the moms feed their babies meals with fresh, local ingredients: eggs, rice, spinach, tomatoes, squash, cauliflower, limes, plums, carrots, bananas, potatoes, pumpkin, and lentils. They’re also quizzed on the benefits of the ingredients to a growing child.
