Child malnutrition rate reduced to 4.46% through comprehensive care for over 680 children

During the first quarter of 2025, the Comprehensive Early Childhood Care Program (CECCP) served 683 children under the age of 6 through 77 nutritional monitoring sessions, including 24 sessions that incorporated early stimulation practices. Weight data collected is processed using the WHO’s Anthro software, enabling the identification of nutritional risks and the provision of counseling and home visits conducted by a team of 123 community volunteers, including 8 men. As a result of continuous monitoring, significant progress has been observed: the Global Malnutrition Index decreased from 7% in 2020 to 4.46% in 2024. This effort is made possible through funding from FA INC Bridges of Hope and contributes to the achievement of SDGs 3, 5, and 17.
