    The Smart Start programme by Belaku Trust targets women during pregnancy and post-childbirth, offering vital support and information through trained Gelathis. These community workers address crucial health topics like nutrition, anaemia prevention, prenatal care, and breastfeeding, ensuring mothers and newborns receive necessary care and guidance, especially in nuclear families lacking traditional support systems. Through home visits, the programme aims to promote the health and well-being of both mother and child beyond formal preschool hours, enabling optimal development for both.

    Belaku Trust enhances the government's Integrated Child Development Scheme by deploying trained community aides, Gelathis, to support Anganwadi workers in promoting early childhood education and health. Gelathis assist in preschool education, monitor children's nutrition and health, and introduce music and dance into the curriculum for holistic development. Starting in six villages in 2006, the project has expanded due to positive community response, with villagers contributing funds to sustain it. Belaku aims to extend this initiative to more villages, advocating for policy influence based on its success in improving early childhood development and community engagement.
