One Thousand Precious Days
Precious for families
Precious for communities
Precious for the nation
We care about preventing and eliminating malnutrition
Because of its contribution
To improve the health of our population
And the development of our nation
We can move forward
In the path of prosperity
Maintaining our dignity
Growing enough food
Feeding our people
Making food available and affordable
Healthy and nutritious
Complete with vegetables, proteins and vitamins
Is our long-term mission
For families to have enough and balanced meals
Let us keep increasing agricultural production
And link food security with nutrition interventions
This is possible in Rwanda
Where, eliminating malnutrition is high on the national agenda
And the value of the 1000 precious days is sure to become a mantra
In schools, households and villages
Across the magnificent 1000 hills
During the 1000 precious days of a child’s life
As a foetus and until two years after birth
Proper nutrition and preventing infection
Are critical for balanced growth
Taking care of a mother during pregnancy
Needs to be given the at most priority
Along with breast and complementary feeding
For the young child to grow
For their future to glow
We value the 1000 precious days
In the fight against malnutrition
We need to look at the big picture
Across all development actors
In every district and sector
In every village and in each household
Of integration, synergy and impact
For the betterment of the infant
By making the 1000 precious days significant
For each child to be a leader tomorrow
It needs the opportunity to grow
Through proper education and health
Following the right path
Hence, appropriately feeding a child
Taking care of motherhood
Preventing infection
Giving proper care and attention
When life begins and flourishes
During the 1000 precious days
Winning the fight against malnutrition
Is right and just
To achieving our growth and development ambition
We must, therefore, do what we can
As individuals and as a nation
Making nutrition the priority of priorities
In policy, strategy and planning
Remembering the 1000 precious days
With the coordinated services and efforts of all actors
At national, district and village levels
And the active participation of communities and families
We can prevent stunting, underweight and wasting
Looking back the path that we have travelled
How we have worked hard to succeed
To be where we are today
Building a better future for children and mothers
The pillars that sustain our progress
Working hard to keep our population healthy
To propel our vision and long journey
We will continue to make nutrition
Our growth and development fountain
To eliminate malnutrition in our country
To assure every child develops and grows properly
By benefiting from the national multi-sector strategy
We will glorify life during the 1,000 precious days
In our beautiful country of a 1000 hills
