Onze aanpak bestaat uit een combinatie van schoon water, sanitaire voorzieningen en hygiëne (WASH), gezonde voeding en zorg, waarbij we speciale aandacht hebben voor moeder en kind.
Gecombineerde aanpak
We focus on preventing undernutrition (stunting) and disease in children under five.
Stunting is a key indicator for child health. In south Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, one in three children are stunted. Stunting, being too small for one’s age, can cause long-term mental and physical disabilities. The good news is, it’s largely preventable, with good diet and hygiene for mothers and young children (especially the first 1,000 days).
Our Healthy Village approach facilitates good hygiene, sanitation, safe drinking water, a nutritious diet and essential care for mother and child.
Zorgen voor gedragsverandering binnen de gemeenschappen
We mobilize the whole community towards the common goal of child health. Caregivers monitor child growth using growth charts, and learn behaviours from peers that support raising healthy children. Seeing your child stunted, and wanting him or her to grow up healthy, is a powerful trigger for change.
We stimulate supply and demand for products and services that help families be healthy. Local entrepreneurs become catalysts for change. Healthy Villages are officially designated by local government once they meet and maintain key criteria.
