100%


Success in tackling malnourishment

Every single beneficiary that joins our program suffers from malnourishment. Tackling this is the very beginning of their self development.

With nutrition at the core of what we do, we have a 100% success rate in putting an end to malnourishment in the lives of our beneficiaries. Typically within 2 months, children move from the ‘red zone’, denoting severe malnourishment in to the ‘green zone’ - clear of any sign of malnourishment.

Through a balanced diet, tuition on proper cooking methods and a focus on land development, malnourishment is not a part of our beneficiaries future.
