The situation<\/h2>\n
Malnutrition affects every stage of life and has severe consequences that can impact families and communities for generations. Malnourished women are more likely to die in childbirth and have low birth weight babies. And their babies are more vulnerable to disease and death.<\/p>\n
Because of widespread malnutrition, Malawi, Zambia, and Mozambique continue to have some of the highest child mortality rates in the world. Under-nourishment during the first critical years of life reduces a child\u2019s chance of survival and directly affects brain development.<\/p>\n
Chronically-malnourished children suffer life-long consequences in cognitive ability, school performance and future earnings, limiting the development potential of nations.<\/p>\n
Addressing malnutrition now could bring economic benefits\u00a0over 100 times as large as the cost of interventions.<\/strong><\/p>\n
What we are doing<\/h2>\n
Malnutrition and its devastating consequences can be prevented. CARE\u2019s comprehensive and evidence-based nutrition solutions work. The project is undertaken with the financial support of the Government of Canada provided through Global Affairs Canada.<\/p>\n
The Southern African Nutrition Initiative (SANI) is designed to give women, families, and health providers the tools they need to end malnutrition in children under five and in pregnant and nursing women. The tools are simple and they work.<\/p>\n
SANI will help achieve lasting change in the lives of beneficiaries by:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Individual and group nutrition counselling for women and men<\/li>\n
- Training\u00a0 health care workers to provide nutrition education for pregnant and nursing women and their families as well as children under five<\/li>\n
- Providing therapeutic feeding to severely malnourished children<\/li>\n
- Supporting community and backyard gardens by providing\u00a0 seeds, tools, equipment and training to produce a healthy and\u00a0 diverse range of food for\u00a0 families.<\/li>\n
- Building\u00a0 wells and water systems in collaboration with community members to ensure safe access to clean drinking water<\/li>\n
- Empowering women and expanding their economic opportunities through\u00a0village savings and loans associations<\/a>\u00a0which strengthen women\u2019s economic status and autonomy and their ability to generate an income<\/li>\n
- Improving access to nutrition and psycho-social support for mothers and families living with HIV and AIDS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
