Urgent Cause

Nutrition Screening Drive

Many children in rural communities are not screened early for signs of malnutrition. This initiative supports outreach clinics that provide growth monitoring and early referrals before conditions worsen.

52%

Caregiver Training Sessions

Caregivers often lack practical guidance on infant and maternal nutrition. These sessions provide hands-on learning, meal planning skills, and support during the critical first 1,000 days of a child’s life.

67%

Digital Nutrition Access

Our mobile platform delivers trusted nutrition guidance directly to caregivers’ phones. Expanding this service ensures families in remote villages receive timely feeding advice without internet barriers.
