Our Voice, Our Future is a podcast by Breadline Africa, sharing stories that inspire action and explore the issues shaping the lives of children and communities across Southern Africa.
In this episode, host Rachel Kolisi sits down with David Harrison, CEO of the DG Murray Trust and one of South Africa’s leading voices on child health and early childhood development, to unpack why the first 1,000 days of a child’s life are so critical and what happens when support arrives too late.
Together, they explore the realities faced by families living in communities where the nearest clinic is too far away, preventative healthcare is difficult to access, and poverty often determines a child’s opportunity before they even begin school.
