Please Support Our latest Campaign on the Benefits of Breastfeeding

Diversity House is currently spearheading an impactful breastfeeding campaign that emphasises the many advantages it offers for both infants and mothers. This initiative sheds light on the vital role breastfeeding plays in nurturing the health and well-being of both these groups and is part of our Community Fund and support of the UN Global Compact.

For infants, the benefits of breastfeeding are multifaceted and remarkable. First and foremost, it acts as a powerful shield against ailments such as diarrhoea, ear infections, pneumonia, and asthma. Moreover, breastfeeding significantly reduces the likelihood of obesity and the development of allergies in infants. One of the most compelling advantages is the decreased risk of sudden infant death syndrome, illustrating the profound protective impact that breastfeeding can have on a child’s life.

In addition to the advantages bestowed upon infants, mothers also reap substantial rewards from breastfeeding. Notably, breastfeeding emerges as a pivotal factor in lowering the risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer for mothers. This remarkable health benefit highlights the profound impact that this natural practice can have on a woman’s long-term well-being. Breastfeeding is also a proven stress reducer, offering mothers a valuable means of alleviating the pressures that often accompany parenthood. By preventing postpartum depression and mitigating the risk of type 2 diabetes, breastfeeding becomes a cornerstone of maternal health, promoting emotional stability and physical vitality.

OUR VALUES

Diversity House’s core priorities and vision is promoting community integration, inclusion and cohesion. It also aims to tackle social inequalities caused by social determinants of gender, race/ethnicity, age, religion, beliefs, values, language, disability, socio-economic status, education, among others.

What We Do

We believe that every individual regardless of their race or ethnicity should be treated with dignity, respect and given the opportunity to access services within the community. Diversity House stands for the notion that people should have opportunities, support and encouragement to exercise control over their own lives as well as acknowledge their responsibilities to themselves and to others.

Therefore, in Diversity House it is important to us that given the right support, the people living within these communities should be able to exercise control over their own lives and acknowledge their responsibilities to themselves and others.
