  • Midwives such as Mrs. Wijesinghe are key figures in small rural communities such as this village in Medawachchiya. They carry out their duties by promoting and monitoring maternal health and nutrition in small communities, spreading the knowledge of wholesome child care with her routine checks every month. It's through people like her that Australian Aid initiatives in promoting  child nutrition is disseminated among small communities.

The flavour of this week was "kola kenda", a nutritious herbal gruel, tested over time and faithfully trusted by mothers to turn little tykes into champions. © Reza Akram / DFAT 2017
