Treatments and Guidance for the holistic well being of their students
Nutrition Guidance Programs are driven by the core objective of eradicating malnutrition, thus they require periodic and systematic monitoring of growth indicators by the stake holders. The Data Analysis Report from the health check-ups guides the field team to take immediate corrective measures for the children suffering from malnutrition. Medical camps are conducted by Medical Officers of Primary Health Centre and their paramedical staff on a pre-determined date.
SUCCESS STORY
Through determined collaboration, HWCTINDIA has tackled food insecurity and malnutrition head-on.
Establishing efficient food distribution channels, we reached vulnerable populations with essential nourishment. Through strategic partnerships with corporates, Food banks, businesses, and other non- profits, we procured nutritious food resources and developed efficient distribution networks. These efforts ensured that even the remotest corners of our community had access to sustenance. But we didn’t stop at just providing food; we empowered individuals with knowledge. Regular workshops on proper nutrition, meal planning, and hygiene practices empowered families to make informed choices and break the cycle of malnutrition.
This success story underscores the significance of united efforts in ensuring food support, eradicating malnutrition, and fostering a healthier future for all.
Our journey from food support to improved nutrition stands as an inspiring model for communities across the areas we serve.
