Household Nutrition & Food Security
Food insecurity and poor nutrition are deeply linked to poor health outcomes in Uganda — including weakened immunity, pregnancy complications, stunted growth, and poor mental focus. For women and girls, the consequences are even more severe: anemia, high-risk pregnancies, and diminished energy to pursue school, work, or make informed reproductive choices. In most homes, women are at the center of food decisions. They are the cooks, the caregivers, and the quiet protectors of household health. By equipping women and youth with nutrition knowledge and practical skills, we create ripple effects that touch education, reproductive health, economic resilience, and long-term well-being. Nutrition is health. Nutrition is choice. Nutrition is empowerment — and it starts at home.
What We Do
- Train women, caregivers, and youth in practical nutrition, food safety, and healthy cooking.
- Promote home gardening to improve access to diverse, nutrient-rich foods
- Strengthen food hygiene, child feeding, and meal planning practices.
- Integrate nutrition into SRHR, livelihoods, and WASH programs for holistic impact.
- Run behavior change campaigns on balanced diets, malnutrition prevention, and informed food choices

Voices from the Field
Before the program, I depended on what I could buy from the market — some days we skipped meals, and my children often fell sick. I didn’t know how to grow or prepare healthy food. Now, I have a small backyard garden at my home in Gayaza, Wakiso District, where I grow sukuma, eggplants, and tomatoes. I cook better meals, and my children are stronger and rarely get sick. I feel proud knowing I can take care of them
