Combating Child Malnutrition

Combating Child Malnutrition

Northern Uganda continues to face high rates of acute and chronic malnutrition among children under five. This project focuses on community-based nutrition strategies to improve child survival, growth, and development.

Caregivers are trained on how to prepare nutritious meals using locally available ingredients, set up home gardens, and practice responsive feeding. Community nutrition champions and local health workers conduct home visits and group education sessions. Women’s groups are established to support breastfeeding practices, dietary diversity, and child health monitoring. This project complements ongoing government efforts and aligns with national child nutrition targets.

Focus Areas:

  • Nutrition education for parents and caregivers

  • Backyard gardening and food production

  • Exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding awareness

Finally

No child should go to bed hungry or suffer from preventable malnutrition. Partner with us to feed, educate minds, and save lives one meal, one family at a time.
