FOCUS 1000 is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in Sierra Leone that is committed to making the best investment in the most crucial time in a child’s life: the first 1000 days – the number of days from conception and pregnancy until the child reaches age two. During this period, the child is fragile and susceptible to numerous illnesses and environmental conditions such as diarrheal diseases, malaria, malnutrition, and lack of access to safe drinking water and safe sanitation. Therefore, addressing these issues presents a golden opportunity to ensure the survival and development of the child especially in the first 1000 days of life.
