Baby Formula Support Program
Are You Pregnant and Living with HIV?
At ACTS Ghana, we believe in providing compassionate and non-judgmental support to those in need. Our trained team is here to lend an empathetic ear and offer guidance on a variety of concerns.
What We Offer
- Formula Feeding Support: We provide NAN 1 formula for the first six months, along with essential infant feeding accessories such as feeding bottles and sterilizers. Additionally, clean water is provided to ensure proper preparation of formula.
- Eligibility Criteria: To qualify for our free baby formula program, you must be pregnant, living with HIV, unemployed, and have viral loads above 20 copies. If your viral load during delivery is unknown and you cannot afford formula feeding, you also qualify for assistance.
- Breastfeeding Support: For breastfeeding mothers who are undetectable and wish to breastfeed, we offer support from lactation consultants. We respect every mother's right to choose the feeding option that suits them best while prioritizing the health of the child to start life without HIV.
Infant Feeding Registry:
ACTS Ghana is committed to furthering research and policy development in infant feeding for mothers living with HIV. Through our Infant Feeding Registry, we study the feeding patterns of mothers, whether breastfeeding or formula feeding, to inform future policies and interventions.
