JAKARTA – A growing number of Indonesians are developing awareness of prenatal nutrition, which ensures sustenance for a newborn’s first 1,000 days. Among them is a mother of three kids named Siti Fatimah (34). With another child on the way, the young woman endlessly strives to meet her daily needs in the months leading up to delivery.
Luckily, she is able to find healthy foods at affordable rates using bits of Internet knowledge and tips from health institutions. But despite the convenience, she remains grateful for all the help with her pregnancy.
On a day not too long ago, Fatimah eagerly made her way to the Pancoran subdistrict office, where dozens of mothers like her are waiting in the courtyard for Korindo Foundation’s nutritional kits.
