Maternal and child nutrition continues to stand as a critical determinant of health and development in communities worldwide.
However, in many countries, including Mozambique, Ethiopia and Zambia, access to adequate nutrition remains a significant challenge, particularly for vulnerable populations. High rates of malnutrition among mothers and children not only jeopardize individual well-being—approximately, 70% of maternal deaths occur in Africa— but also impact social and economic progress in these countries.
We work to address maternal and child malnutrition through community-led approaches around the world. In partnership with local governments and organizations and trained community leaders and volunteers,our nutrition programs bring about transformative change, mobilizing communities to improve health outcomes and break the cycle of poverty and malnutrition.

In partnership with the local government, the Maculuve Epicenter health clinic offers nutrition counseling for expecting and postpartum mothers. It was through this service that Sônia learned that her daughter, Carvalia, had moderate acute malnutrition.
