Background
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
Background
Maternal and child undernutrition is a major public health concern in urban settlements, where migrant and low-income families face barriers to accessing quality healthcare. Women often experience poor maternal care and children under three are highly vulnerable to malnutrition. This initiative seeks to address these challenges through a multi-stakeholder, system-strengthening approach, enhancing maternal health and nutrition services while also improving household practices. The project emphasises community participation, regular growth monitoring of children, counselling of mothers-caregivers, and partnerships with public hospitals to ensure access to timely healthcare.Broad Objectives
