Improving Children’s Health with Water and Nutrition

Improving Children’s Health with Water and Nutrition

This new “Picture of the Day” shows Ayu spending time with a child from Laindatang in East Sumba, where we have been working for over two years as part of the #WaterConnections and #ZeroMalaria programs. Ayu will measure this child along with 78 others, and also weigh him to assess his hygiene and determine whether he is doing well and gaining weight.

Our main objective is to improve the standard of living of ultra-rural communities while ensuring their sustainable development. We pay particular attention to promoting the growth and physical well-being of children, as malnutrition remains a significant problem affecting approximately 15–20% of young people. This means that hundreds of children are facing weight and nutrition issues that concern us deeply.

We provide healthcare programs that educate parents, villagers, and schools in ultra-rural areas about good nutrition. Due to the extreme poverty and isolation in these regions, healthy eating habits are often unfamiliar concepts. Therefore, we provide them with nutritious meals made with local ingredients while teaching them to grow their own gardens for a healthier diet.

Our approach emphasises crucial skills such as eating vegetables as often as possible, drinking clean water through our #WaterConnections initiative, and protecting yourself from infectious diseases by adopting preventative measures.

One of our team members can be seen in this new Picture of the Day, watching over a child. Our mission is to weigh, measure and evaluate hundreds of children every week to ensure their medical and hygienic well-being. This evaluation is essential to determine the effectiveness of our on-site programs. We have witnessed impressive results: Better access to water has improved nutrition, which has translated into increased vitality, better health, and an overall healthier lifestyle.

Improving water availability and nutrition creates a beneficial loop that transforms lives and strengthens disadvantaged communities.
