Nepal's First Human Milk Bank Supports At-Risk Newborns

Nepal's First Human Milk Bank Supports At-Risk Newborns

Imagine a special bank in Nepal that gives baby food to newborns who need it most.

This bank, called 'Amrit Kosh,' provides breast milk to babies born too early or who are very small.

This helps them grow and stay healthy because breast milk has all the right nutrients.

The bank is supported by groups like UNICEF and the Nepal government.

Mothers who cannot breastfeed their babies can get milk from this bank.

But now, because there is not enough money, they can not help as many babies.

Breast milk is very important for babies to help them survive, and be healthy.
