The 1000 Days Fund is a philanthropic organization focused on improving the health, nutrition, and development of mothers, infants, and young children during the first 1,000 days of life, from pregnancy through a child’s second birthday. This period is widely recognized as a critical stage for physical growth, brain development, and long-term well-being.

The organization supports initiatives that aim to improve maternal and child nutrition, promote breastfeeding, encourage appropriate infant and young child feeding practices, and expand access to essential health and nutrition services. Its work emphasizes the importance of providing mothers and young children with the resources and support they need during this crucial period.

The 1000 Days Fund primarily works in Indonesia, where it collaborates with local governments, community health workers, and health facilities to prevent childhood stunting. Its approach includes training frontline health workers, developing practical educational tools, conducting community-based interventions, and strengthening local health systems so families can access reliable nutrition information and preventive care.

Through its programs, the organization aims to create sustainable, evidence-based solutions that improve maternal and child health, particularly in underserved communities. By combining community engagement, government partnerships, health education, and policy advocacy, the 1000 Days Fund works toward a future in which every child has the opportunity to grow and develop to their full potential.
