FOOD, NUTRITION & HEALTH

Nutrition powers children to grow, develop and reach their potential and therefore ASDEF strives to provide nutritious food to the children in order to make the families and communities stronger.  We strive to eradicate hunger and malnutrition within our communities because hungry children don’t do as well in school. ASDEF believes that, with proper nutrition early in life, children can grow, develop and thrive to their full potential hence we aim at providing an integrated nutrition program in the region by adopting a multispectral participatory approach that creates synergies to achieve the overall nutrition goal.

Without good health people cannot reach their full human potential hence ASDEF builds the capacities of local communities to prevent the onset of illness and provide medicines and other life-saving supplies for treatment programs, promote healthy immune systems and enable children to develop through adolescence and into adulthood. ASDEF is committed to improving maternal, reproductive health, infant and young children health through partnerships with other actors.
