In the nutrition component, the project will carry out screenings to identify and address severe and moderate acute malnutrition cases in children under five years of age and pregnant and lactating women. The health component will provide vital medical consultation services, addressing childhood illnesses, reproductive health support, and adult illnesses, thus contributing to the overall well-being of the targeted communities.
This project is a comprehensive and vital initiative that, if executed effectively, can significantly improve these vulnerable communities’ living conditions and health.
