Barriers to Breastfeeding Study
Alison Talbert is a doctor, researching prevention and treatment of malnutrition in children in a rural coastal community in Kilifi County, Kenya.
Supporting Barriers to Breastfeeding
sankalpa funded the research costs of a two year study of first time mothers, focusing on the drivers and barriers to breastfeed exclusively. Alison's work is ongoing.
sankalpa has enabled an in-depth investigation of the contextual factors which will need to be considered in any local interventions to prevent malnutrition and child deaths.
It is hard to find funding for this kind of research from major donors who are more interested in large scale projects.
