First 1000 Days Initiative

Previous nutrition programs initiated by the Barangay Don Jose Nutrition Office headed by Barangay Nutrisyon Scholar, Concepcion “Connie” Manera.

Our previous news story on the First 1000 Days program of the National Nutrition Council has yet garnered no updates in the locality of Barangay Don Jose in Sta. Rosa City, Laguna.

However, First 1000 Days programs are also being implemented worldwide to promote healthier children. More programs are being initiated to foster a stronger support for nutrition. In Geneva, a collaborative project brought to life the “First 1000 Days Promise.” The initiative was to aid in the early childhood education and provision of facilities to support the First 1000 Days program. It provides parents a multi-faceted support from food, counseling services, and education. 

Meanwhile, the government Zero Hunger task force is looking to sustain this program for years to come. While public and private institutions are contributing to aid in the initiative, the lead convener Kristine Go is still encouraging the public to support the program through monetary donations.
