Childhood malnutrition is a complex disease that can be prevented. We work with stakeholders to address systemic challenges to end hunger and achieve nutrition security at the household level.
Treatment for acute malnutrition is available and cost-effective, yet only 1 in 3 children get treated. We work with stakeholders to strengthen health systems to ensure every malnourished child gets saved from death and the life-long irreversible consequences of cognitive impairment, chronic diseases and poverty.
Poverty is both a cause and outcome of malnutrition. Without strategic support most children treated for malnutrition will relapse or attain limited education. We empower such vulnerable child households to attain sustainable early childhood education, nutrition security and healthcare, as necessary.
Achieving the ambitious objective of ending all forms of malnutrition by 2030 demand that, the business-as-usual where nutrition is seen only as a subset of health programs, with little attention given to it, in terms of political commitment, funding and research must change. Nutrition must be given its due place in the thought, plans and activities of politicians, development partners, and civil society as the backbone of health and socioeconomic development.
It is to this clarion call we have responded, dedicating ourselves to the vision of “a nutrition-secured populace with optimum socioeconomic development.”
