Hunger & Homelessness

India carries a huge burden of malnutrition with about 1.08 million children dying even before their fifth birthday. The underlying cause of these deaths is acute malnutrition as children suffering from low immunity are unable to fight even the smallest of infections. Seven million children each year are born with a weight of less than 2.5kg, which is strongly linked to the nutritional status of women: 33 % of married women from 15 to 49 years of age are too thin for their height and 55% of the same group has some form of anaemia.  This is a massive challenge to India’s economic growth and development and requires immediate attention. 
 The first 1000 days of a child’s life (from pregnancy until their second birthday) have a profound impact on the ability to grow, learn and thrive – and a lasting effect on a community’s health and prosperity. This provides us with a unique opportunity to improve their nutritional status and build happier and healthier futures. The program will focus on this approach of the first 1000 days of life where pregnant and lactating women and children up to two years of age will be supported through government and social platforms. It will include the delivery of ongoing and integrated health care and nutrition services for women and children throughout the life cycle from pre-pregnancy through childbirth, the immediate postnatal period and early childhood.It is imperative that health care and nutrition interventions can be seen as part of a continuum over time so that they may mutually reinforce each other. Planned interventions are focused towards improving awareness and access to:§ Maternal care services (health and nutrition services including ANC, PNC and obstetric care)§ Neonatal care services (healthcare and IYCF) and§ Timely diagnosis and treatment of Acute Malnutrition§ Community participation as a cornerstone 
 Action Against Hunger has touched close to 0.13 million lives and has reached out to over 149,000 children &lt;5 years of age. They have treated 23,000 malnourished children through Outpatient Therapeutic Centers and referrals to Government Treatment Centers; conducted over 47555 community information and discussion sessions; trained over 5358 Government frontline workers.

At Action Against Hunger, we drive change from the ground up, to make this world free from hunger. Since inception in 1979, we have led the global fight against hunger. Our work has impacted the lives of 15 million individuals, through a network of 7100 humanitarian professionals across 55 countries. In India, our operations from the grassroots upwards, are focused on taking decisive action against the causes and effects of malnutrition. We equip people with knowledge and awareness, so they can see their children grow up strong, and for whole communities to prosper. In India, we are one of the few NGOs focusing specifically on child malnutrition with various nutrition sensitive and nutrition specific interventions. Our teams work with some of India’s most vulnerable communities, living in inaccessible geographies, detecting and treating malnutrition in children, and empowering mothers and families on how to prevent it. Our multidisciplinary programs tackle malnutrition across four states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Gujarat covering 1266 Rural and Tribal villages and 160 Anganwadi centres in urban slums.  Our work spans across three broad pillars –·        Treatment – While strengthening the early identification of malnutrition in the communities we provide home-based treatment to children suffering from moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) and ensure treatment for children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) at the nearest Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres (NRC). With follow-up and counseling at community and facility level we ensure adherence to treatment, early recovery, and prevention of relapse.·        Prevention – We educate mothers, families, and communities on improving nutrition of mothers and their children, recognizing the causes and symptoms of malnutrition, and taking actions to prevent it. We build their capacity for sustaining the achieved behavior change. We also provide access to nutrition-sensitive interventions such as WASH and Food Security and Livelihood in order to effectively prevent malnutrition. Awareness generation and ensuring the community’s access to various health and nutrition related government schemes is one of the core areas of our work.·        Sustainability – All the programs are implemented in close collaboration with the local governments and other actors of the grassroot health and nutrition ecosystem. We build capacity of Anganwadi and ASHA workers, and Panchayati Raj Institute (PRI) members on identifying the early signs of malnutrition, taking corrective actions and ensuring enabling environment for better nutrition of the children and mothers. For this, we also advocate at the District and State level to build a responsive policy and administrative support.We work on all these pillars through our comprehensive ‘1000 Days Plus’ approach and a community-centric designing of the programs. Our meticulously planned and technology-enabled Formative Research and Baseline, Midline, and End-line evaluations provide us objective parameters to assess the root causes of the problem, its magnitude, and measure our impact.
