Our Journey
The Lactnation Fund came into being in April 2020 as the only Global Public Breastfeeding Support group originating from Pakistan. The need was ascertained by Hareem Sumbul, the founder clocking in over 18 hours of volunteer services to mothers in need per day for nearly two years by then. It then expanded to being Pakistan’s largest Breastfeeding Support Group to date crossing 20,000 members in less than a year.
The aim of LactNation is to provide support to mothers in their breastfeeding journey in absence of any medical or social support through this very important phase postpartum where it is essential for their children to be breastfed as their first source of nourishment for at least their first year of life and as long as the mother and child desire.
