Our maternal, infant, and young child nutrition program focuses on improving nutrition outcomes for pregnant women, lactating mothers, and children under five. The intervention combines nutrition education, supplementation, and community-based support to ensure optimal growth and development.
This intervention empowers families with practical skills to fortify, process, and preserve foods at home, enhancing the nutritional quality of their meals while reducing food waste and improving food security.
Our nutrition-sensitive agriculture program supports smallholder farmers to grow diverse, nutritious crops and build sustainable value chains, linking agricultural production to improved nutritional outcomes.
This intervention raises awareness about food safety practices and builds consumer knowledge on safe food handling, storage, and preparation to reduce foodborne illnesses and improve health outcomes.
This community-based approach detects and treats acute malnutrition in children under five through early detection, community mobilization, and provision of therapeutic foods, ensuring children receive life-saving treatment close to home.
Climate change and environmental degradation pose a direct and growing threat to food and nutrition security across Africa. Changing weather patterns, prolonged droughts, and biodiversity loss are undermining agricultural productivity and the stability of food systems, which disproportionately affects the most vulnerable families. This intervention tackles these interconnected challenges by promoting climate-resilient agricultural practices, sustainable resource management, and strategies that p
Access to safe water, basic sanitation, and good hygiene practices is fundamental to good nutrition. Poor WASH conditions are a leading cause of diarrhea, intestinal worms, and environmental enteric dysfunction—all of which impair a child's ability to absorb nutrients and lead to undernutrition, stunting, and wasting . Our WASH in Nutrition (WASH in Nut) intervention tackles this by integrating water, sanitation, and hygiene activities directly into our nutrition programs. By improving the house
Robust primary healthcare (PHC) is the bedrock of a healthy community and a critical platform for delivering essential nutrition services at the family level. This intervention strengthens the capacity of PHC systems to address the root causes of malnutrition through promotive, preventive, and curative care . By integrating nutrition into primary healthcare, we empower health workers to provide crucial services like nutrition counseling, growth monitoring, micronutrient supplementation, and the
