Early Development – Benefits

With proper support — both physical and emotional/spiritual — mothers can know that their babies’ early development is on the right track rather than on a path of suffering

When mothers and their babies receive physical, emotional, social, economic and spiritual support, the early development of babies has a greater chance of success than if they do not receive such support.

When this happens … life changes for the better.
