PROVIDING FOOD AND NUTRITION
Nutrition is vital to human well-being. However, the prevalence of malnutrition worldwide especially in developing countries is staggering. Overwhelming number of people around the world are afflicted by undernutrition, micronutrient deficiency, and overweight or obesity. Poor nutrition in the first 3 of child harms their physical and cognitive development.
It is evidenced that:
“Malnutrition has lasting consequences on children such as permanent brain damage, stunted growth and psychological malfunction”.
Food insecurity and poor nutrition are eroding the quality of life especially the worsening of health and limiting economic productivity resulting in high levels of poverty rates. Girls and women’s health is devasted by lack of access to food resulting in malnutrition and in return poor health for them and their children.
Our projects are identifying innovative ways to empower women and improve nutrition for women, children and the whole household, reducing poverty and enhancing health, and education outcomes.
Through our nutrition programmes, we are providing already raw, prepared and packed meals to poor families in deprived communities in developing countries.
HOW ARE WE DOING THIS?
RESCUEMISSION are supporting many communities in Asia, Africa and South America with life-saving nutritious foods such as therapeutic milk for babies and children and raw for food such as bags of rice, maize, millet and wheat as well as tin foods. We are supporting communities to address devastating effects of conflicts and disasters that prevent families to get food, putting whole communities especially large numbers of children at risk of malnutrition.
