We aim for zero stunting
by 2030
The mission of the 1000 Days Fund (legally registered as Yayasan Seribu Cita Bangsa) is to deliver a national, scalable solution to two pressing issues - transforming in-home access to information and providing critical training for village health volunteers.
Whether in Flores, Timor, or any of the 16 provinces we serve, we go where the need is greatest. Together with local government officials and NGOs, we work to strengthen health systems and build capacity. We develop a yearly plan jointly with the local health workers in each village. We install height charts in homes and communities. Moreover, we remain committed to accompanying those we serve long-term.
What Drives Us
A life free of stunting is a fundamental human right,
and driving sustainable system change is key to resolving this preventable issue.
