A Yearly Tradition & Renewed Slogan: ELCA Celebrates World Breastfeeding Week 2025
The Egyptian Lactation Consultants Association (ELCA) is proud to join the global community in celebrating World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) from August 1-7, 2025. This annual event is a cornerstone of our mission, and we are excited to participate with renewed vigor and dedication.
“Prioritize Breastfeeding:
Create Sustainable Support Systems”
This year’s theme resonates deeply with ELCA’s core vision and long-standing mission. For over two decades, since our first celebration in 2004, we have tirelessly worked to build a robust network of trained professionals and supportive communities in Egypt. This theme provides a powerful, focused framework that guides our efforts to translate this vision into tangible, on-the-ground action.
The renewed and focused recommendations accompanying this year’s theme give us clear guidelines to all healthcare workers. It is a call to action to move beyond awareness and to actively create lasting, sustainable systems that support mothers throughout their breastfeeding journeys. This includes strengthening healthcare facilities, empowering lactation consultants, and fostering a culture of support within families and communities.
ELCA’s celebration of WBW 2025 will be a comprehensive program of activities designed to bring this theme to life. We will be engaging with our members, the public, and policymakers to advocate for breastfeeding as a public health priority.
We invite you to follow us on our official social media channels and website to learn more about this year’s celebration, our events, and how you can be a part of this vital movement. Together, we can build a future where every mother and child in Egypt receives the support they need to thrive.
