Malnutrition in Uganda is a critical barrier to the growth and development of children, particularly in disadvantaged communities. This project aims to address childhood malnutrition through targeted interventions that improve access to nutritious food, raise awareness about proper nutrition, and support local food systems. By focusing on these areas, we aim to reduce the prevalence of malnutrition and enhance the health and well-being of children, ensuring their long-term physical and cognitive development.

Child malnutrition includes undernutrition, which severely impacts growth, cognitive development, and overall well-being. Without access to nutritious food and adequate health facilities, children face significant risks, including stunted growth and weakened immune systems. Indeed, the situation of malnutrition in Uganda poses a significant risk not only to the health of children but also increases the likelihood of preventable deaths. When children suffer from malnutrition, they are more vulnerable to infections and diseases due to weakened immune systems, which can lead to severe health complications.
