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.
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.
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.
Mlo Wa Watoto prevents malnutrition in children under five by giving caregivers clear, practical guidance to make life-saving feeding decisions every day.
Using mobile apps, SMS, and community programs, we reach children, families, and communities in remote villages, teaching practical feeding methods, spotting early malnutrition, and providing life-saving guidance to all.
Every day, thousands of children in Uganda suffer from poor nutrition, leading to stunted growth and health complications. Your support empowers Mlo Wa Watoto to train caregivers, provide life-saving advice, and give hope to the most vulnerable children.
Through youth ambassadors, village health teams, and mobile guidance, we are improving feeding practices, maternal nutrition, and early detection of malnutrition across thousands of families in rural areas. Together, we turn knowledge into action that saves children’s lives.
