Christine, her son, and her mother are among 100,000 refugees, mostly women and children, living in a camp in north-western Uganda, served by the World Food Programme and its partners.
"I feel like the proudest mother in the world when I breastfeed him," she says, cradling one-year-old Alvin on the front step of her tin-roofed house.
Many like her in the camp are from South Sudan, a country grappling with conflict and weather extremes where two-thirds of the population - nearly 8 million people - suffer severe hunger.

"I know breastfeeding him will help him grow into a strong, healthy, and intelligent boy. He is my future," she says.
Each morning, with Alvin, tied to her back, she makes her way to the local health centre, a few minutes walk from her house. There, she is greeted by a small group of women, most of whom have tiny babies.
Christine earns a small income here as a community worker, mentoring fellow breastfeeding mothers. She wants to give her son the best start in life and to help other women do the same.
Breastfeeding is always important, but in such fragile settings, it's a lifeline. It not only provides all the nutrients a baby needs for the first six months of life, but it's also free of charge and always available!
