Dear Colleagues,
We’re pleased to share the launch of our new “Caring for Babies and Young Children” poster — designed to support young adolescents as they learn how to care for and interact with babies in safe, loving, and playful ways.
The poster is based on 10 clear messages and includes practical activities on the back. It’s been tested and refined with children, educators, and health workers in Zambia.
We hope this will be a useful tool for health education, parenting support, and early childhood development work.
View and download the poster here:

Please feel free to share it with your networks or get in touch if you'd like to collaborate or provide feedback.
Best regards,
Clare
