PREGNANCY TWINNING 1000 focuses on the most formative phase of a baby’s life; the first 1,000 days – from conception until their 2nd birthday. So we support Mums and Dads, in both Africa and the UK, through pregnancy and until their child is 2.

Its GIVING TUESDAY – If you know someone who’s pregnant, how about giving them a Pregnancy Twinning gift by twinning their pregnancy with a mum in Malawi? – where the situation re Covid-19 is getting worse and they need all the help they can get! Your friend/relative will receive a framed Certificate, of a mum in Malawi who’s being helped by your support, together with a personalised message from you.
And, if you believe in the importance of the first 1000 days, how about becoming a 1000dreams investor – just £10 a month for 33 months will support a whole family through pregnancy, birth and until their child is 2. It’s a great way to make a huge difference not only for mums and dads but for their new baby too – and you will receive your own framed sponsor Certificate!
Finally, in a survey in the UK, presented by the Duchess of Cambridge, of over half a million people, ‘76% of parents are not aware that the first five years are most important for health and happiness in adulthood.’ You can download a copy of the report here.
We offer help to mums in the UK and in Africa to support mums and dads in optimising the early years of life. In the UK see the link below to our mental health resources and counselling.
Mental health resources
1. Twin your own pregnancy – and support another mum in Africa
2. Give a PregnancyTwinning Gift for an occasion (e.g. Christmas, Birthday, Christening, Baby Shower).
We have a team of trained Mother Buddy Counsellors, who make home based visits on vulnerable pregnant women in Africa.
We also help mums and dads in the UK – by providing professional psychotherapy services to help alleviate stress, anxiety or depression during pregnancy or after birth.
Please will you help a mum and her baby in Africa to make the most of the first 1000 days and make a difference for a lifetime!
