Health and Nutrion

Good health and nutrition empower children, families, and communities, spurring them to live fuller, freer lives. Good health is transformative.

We want every child to experience it. Children deserve—and have the right to—access to good health and nutrition. We want to see better access, and lasting behavioral change, and connect communities to what works so children and families can survive and thrive.

This can be done through

In Arusha, we have helped severely malnourished children make a full recovery. We have fought against infection and disease in Ortupai—training community health workers and families in prevention, and providing bed nets to protect children from malaria as they sleep.

However, there is more to be done. We see children dying from preventable issues because of violence, isolation, and powerlessness. We want hope to be restored.

We want to promote good hygiene and nutrition for children. We want to strengthen health systems to serve vulnerable people through the distribution of medication and medical supplies.
