Nutrition and Food Security
Nutrition is the Foundation of Life.
We cannot solve poverty without solving malnutrition. Improving nutrition is one of the most effective forms of development aid. According to the World Health Organisation, malnutrition is the most serious threat to public health.
We work to both prevent and treat malnutrition. We strengthen nutrition programs at the national, local and community levels in some of the world's most challenging environments. We focus on vulnerable populations, including adolescents, pregnant and lactating women and children. Our food security and livelihood programs help these vulnerable populations grow nutrient-rich foods and diversify their diets to stay healthy.
