  • Health worker Santina pump out milk from Laura, not to feed her new born baby but to relieve the pressure. Laura and her husband Muncia had a baby 6 days earlier but are unwilling to breast feed the baby because they have lost two babies in the past and they blame the breast milk. Doctors at the hospital finally established that there is nothing wrong her milk but they still opted for powder milk, a very difficult decision and not recommended by Alola or the hospital. Infant mortality rates are very high in Timor-Leste and one of the reasons for that is poor nutrition. Alola advocate breast feeding till at least two years old and teach women about nutritious supplements such as boiled and mashed rice w vegetables and eggs.  Fundasaun Alola is a not for profit non government organization operating in Timor-Leste to improve the lives of women and children. Founded in 2001 by the then First Lady, Ms Kirsty Sword Gusmao, the organization seeks to nurture women leaders and advocate for the rights of women.
