Empowering the Tribal Community for Better Health and Nutrition:

We aim to empower the Katkari community by enhancing their knowledge and access to crucial health and nutrition services. We focus on improving child nutrition, tackling undernutrition among children under six, and combating anaemia among adolescent girls. We collaborate with the ICDS and Health Department to strengthen health and nutrition services, enhance household nutrition practices, and promote diverse food options. Active community engagement and participation are central to our approach.

Broad Objectives:

• Strengthen health and nutrition services through community involvement and awareness, and improve household nutrition practices focusing on the needs of children under six in selected habitations of Mulshi block.
• Address undernutrition among children under six and anaemia among adolescent Katkari girls with active community participation.
• Build awareness regarding institutional delivery.
• Promote Nutri-gardens to enhance food diversity.
