Today, on the International Day of Action for Women’s Health, we are reminded that women’s health is a matter of rights, dignity and equity.

It goes beyond access to healthcare. It is also about having the nutrition, support, information and enabling environments that allow women not only to survive, but to thrive.

Across the world, far too many women continue to face barriers to nutritious food, quality healthcare and consistent support during pregnancy and early motherhood. Yet these are essential foundations, not only for women’s wellbeing, but for the health and future of the next generation.

At Grow Great, we see every day how critical a mother’s health is during pregnancy and the first 1 000 days of a child’s life. When women are supported, informed and nourished, children are more likely to grow, learn and develop to their full potential.

This day is a call to action to prioritise women’s health in all its dimensions, and to recognise the vital role women play in shaping healthier families and communities.

From nutrition and breastfeeding to newborn care and maternal wellbeing, our classes are designed to help mothers feel informed, supported and connected.

Many of the foods on our shelves are marketed as quick, convenient, and affordable. Yet for many families living in communities where access to nutritious food is limited, healthier options are not always easy to find or afford.

The food choices made during the first 1 000 days, from pregnancy through a child’s second birthday, can shape health outcomes for years to come.

Many everyday foods can be high in hidden salt, and too much salt over time can contribute to high blood pressure and other health risks. During pregnancy, high blood pressure can increase the risk of serious complications like preeclampsia, which can be dangerous for both mother and baby.

Small changes can make a difference. Choosing fresh foods where possible, checking food labels, using less stock powder or seasoning, and being mindful of salty processed snacks can help reduce salt intake over time.

In the spirit of this past World Salt Awareness Week, let’s keep the conversation going by making healthier choices where we can, and advocating for food environments that make those choices easier for every family.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and caregivers nurturing children with love and care every day.

At Grow Great Flourish, we believe that at the heart of a child’s development is a supported, cared for and empowered mother.

We know that motherhood is not always easy, especially during the first 1 000 days, which play such an important role in a child’s growth and development. That is why Grow Great Flourish exists: to walk alongside mothers with support, guidance and community throughout this journey.

Today, we celebrate every mother and caregiver for the love, strength and care they pour into their children each and every day.

This Mother’s Day, you can help another mother access the support she deserves. For just R260, you can help a mom attend 10 Grow Great Flourish classes where she can learn, connect and feel supported during the first 1 000 days.

No mother should have to walk this journey alone.

Did you know that 1 in 3 children under the age of 2 in South Africa is not growing as they should?

This is because they are not receiving the right nutrition and support. This problem is called stunting and it is not just about height.

Stunting affects a child's brain development, their ability to learn, and their future earning potential. It also carries long-term costs for our economy and health system.

And yet, it is preventable.

The first 1 000 days, from pregnancy to age two, offer a clear window for action. With the right investments in maternal nutrition, research, early support, and community-based care, we can change life trajectories at scale.

At Grow Great, we work with families and community health workers to support mothers and babies when it matters most. Now we need broader support and stronger prioritisation.

If you shape policy, allocate funding, or influence decisions, this is where it counts.

Happy Workers' Day, South Africa!

Today, we recognise the people who show up every day to build, care, support, and keep things moving forward.

At Grow Great, we want to take a moment to honour a very special group of workers, our champions, Flourish hosts, programme teams, and partners working on the frontlines of child health and nutrition.

These are the people walking alongside mothers, supporting families, tracking children’s growth, and helping ensure that every child gets the best possible start in life. Their work often happens quietly, in homes, clinics, and communities. But its impact is powerful.

To every worker making a difference, thank you.

One in three children in South Africa under the age of two is not growing as they should. Not because parents do not care, but because many mothers lack the right nutrition and support during the first 1 000 days.

This is called stunting, and it affects more than height. It impacts how a child learns, grows and thrives.

At Grow Great Flourish, we support mothers with practical guidance on nutrition, breastfeeding and early child care, while creating a space where they feel seen, supported and confident.

When a mother is supported, her child has a better chance to grow well.

Stunting is preventable, and it starts in the first 1 000 days.
