Food Insecurity Support
Reliable food support for households under strain, connected to nutrition education and malnutrition screening.
The need
A treatment plan cannot succeed in a household without food. Nutrition sits underneath almost every health outcome.
What we do
- Monthly or seasonal food distributions
- Rice, beans, oil, and protein
- Nutrition kits for children
- Age-appropriate supplements and supplies
- Family vouchers
- Targeted emergency rations
- Crisis-period support
- Optional cooking demonstrations
- Healthy meal preparation education
- Malnutrition screening
- Referral support
How it works
- 01
Identify households with community partners and referral sources.
- 02
Distribute staples, kits, or vouchers on a predictable schedule.
- 03
Screen for malnutrition and refer where needed.
- 04
Offer cooking and meal-preparation sessions where appropriate.
Community participation
Community volunteers help with packing, distribution, and identifying households that are being missed.
Why it matters
Food security is health infrastructure, it determines whether medicine, recovery, and learning are even possible.
