I found this promoting breastfeeding on their website.  Will take only a couple minutes to read.

"Breast milk: A life-saving tonic for babies
An increase in the rate of breastfeeding globally could prevent more than 1 million child deaths each year."
 http://www.worldvision.org/news/breast-feeding-infant-health

So, I'm going to guess that they do not have ties to a formula company.  I think this organization is like a Christian version of Heifer International.  

There was also this article.

"While a mother’s milk dries up from a lack of food, and a baby with a swollen belly suffers acute malnutrition, our newspapers offer tips on enjoying the Fourth of July weekend."

No mention on how it might be more effective in the long run to feed the mother properly so she can feed her baby properly.  *sigh*
