Through its weekend and school holiday feeding initiative, NGAO Foundation provides nutritious meals and snacks to approximately 200 children, ensuring continued access to food beyond the school term.
Early childhood nutrition is critical, and when it fails, the effects on health, learning, and development are long-lasting. Addressing malnutrition therefore requires sustained, multi-sectoral interventions that protect children at every stage of growth.
In Kangemi informal settlement, food insecurity among vulnerable households often leaves children without reliable meals, particularly during school holidays. Many are seen searching for food in unsafe environments. This program helps bridge that critical gap by providing consistent nutrition support when it is needed most.
Food insecurity undermines household wellbeing, affecting health, productivity, and overall quality of life. Vulnerable and marginalized families bear the highest burden of malnutrition due to persistent poverty and limited access to adequate food.
In Kangemi informal settlement, many households continue to experience these challenges, placing children and families at increased nutritional risk. Through the Family Food Relief Support Project, NGAO Foundation responds to immediate food needs by providing essential food assistance that strengthens household food security and reduces vulnerability to malnutrition.
The PRELACT Project focuses on improving maternal and child nutrition through targeted nutrition education for pregnant and lactating mothers. By strengthening knowledge on maternal diet, infant feeding practices, and household nutrition, the project seeks to prevent malnutrition and improve health outcomes for both mothers and children.
A key component of the project is the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding, recognizing breast milk as the optimal source of nutrition and immunity for infants. Through community-based education and support, PRELACT empowers mothers to make informed nutrition choices that contribute to healthier pregnancies, stronger early childhood development, and improved household wellbeing.
