Health & Nutrition

Health and nutrition are critical components of a child’s development. Our health and nutrition program focuses on promoting the well-being of children by providing essential healthcare services, nutritional support, and health education. We work tirelessly to combat malnutrition and ensure that children receive the medical care they need to grow healthy and strong. Through community outreach and partnerships with local healthcare providers, we aim to create a healthier future for Uganda’s children, so they can thrive in all aspects of life.
