Fighting Malnutrition and Chronic Diseases Through Access to Health Care
In many remote, rural regions of India, people have limited access to health care due to geographic distance and the high cost of service. We are committed to improving health care and people’s wellbeing at the grassroots level. We support educational and awareness campaigns about diseases and health problems, personal hygiene, and nutrition.
The community health workers and health organizers are the contact persons for people in remote villages. They ensure that the sick receive adequate medical care and that groups affected by malnutrition are supported by the nutrition program.
We also facilitate primary healthcare and follow-up checks through rural clinics and a network of health workers.

Malnutrition
- In rural India, poor families have little access to nutritious and balanced diets.
- Many families also lack knowledge of healthy eating and the link between malnutrition and chronic diseases.
- The aim of the program is to provide nutrition support to vulnerable population to reduce morbidity and improve their health status.
- The program has the additional goal of improving preventive healthcare among pregnant women and promote institutional deliveries.
