Nutrition

High levels of food insecurity leave many children hungry, while the food they have access to often doesn’t contain all the essential nutrients needed to help them grow and develop. Frequent diarrhoea, due to poor access to clean water and sanitation, further aggravates the situation. The majority of the population lives far from a health facility, making early detection and treatment of malnutrition challenging.
