MCMDO’s Feed the Future Ethiopia Community Nutrition project has reached 120,550 people across the towns of Alamata, Raya Alamata, Enda Mekoni, Neqsege, Ofla, and Zata. This initiative is a multi-pronged effort to improve nutrition and public health at the community level.
Our key activities include:
- Empowering Community Leaders: We've conducted sensitization workshops and provided training for Village Health Leaders (VHLs) and health workers. This ensures that knowledge and skills are transferred directly to the community, creating a sustainable model for health promotion.
- Providing Essential Support: The project offers Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) and cash support to help individuals and families cope with the economic and emotional challenges that can impact nutrition.
- Targeted Health Interventions: We've implemented crucial health interventions such as nutritional screening, Vitamin A Supplementation (VAS), and deworming. The project also plays a vital role in linking children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) to the necessary care.
