Support mothers and children with meals

Adequate nutrition in the first 1000 days of life

165 million children worldwide suffer from developmental disorders, almost all of which can be traced back to chronic malnutrition and undernutrition (source: Unicef, 2022) . Proper and sufficient nutrition in the first 1,000 days of life - from pregnancy to the age of 2 - is not only essential for survival, but also paves the way for the child's later educational and life opportunities. In order to keep these opportunities as high as possible, there are nutrition camps in which mothers, with your support, learn everything about proper nutrition and essential food rations.

Where we help

There are so many places in the world where help is needed. To get started, we have decided to support partner organizations in India and Yemen.

Why India

Despite the country's efforts to combat poverty, people in rural areas continue to be particularly affected by food insecurity. This is exacerbated by the increasing frequency of droughts caused by climate change. India remains one of the 20 countries with the highest rates of malnutrition and undernourishment in children in the world.

Why Yemen

The number of people suffering from hunger in Yemen has never been higher and is likely to rise. The seven-year civil war in Yemen and the war in Ukraine are causing food prices to rise. The country is in an economic crisis. Among the hungry population are approximately 1.3 million pregnant and breastfeeding women and 2.2 million children under the age of 5 who are acutely malnourished.

What we want to achieve in 2023

For us, transparent goals and communication are our top priority when it comes to projects and collaborations. Together with our local partner organization, we determine what we want to achieve.

How we work

We have teamed up with those who are experts in helping around the world: verified national and international aid organizations. We trust them because we can see exactly how they use the money. This way we can be sure that our help reaches the right people.

Our selected partners in the fight against malnutrition are Welthungerhilfe and the UN World Food Programme (WFP) .

about the project

In this project in India, we are committed to providing healthy nutrition for women and children. Our partner Welthungerhilfe offers training courses in nutrition camps lasting several days and distributes the necessary food rations.

Nutrition camps for young women and mothers

It is particularly important for young mothers to have basic knowledge about this important topic. Welthungerhilfe therefore trains women in the areas of healthy nutrition, growing and producing their own food, and hygiene practices.

Achieving something together

With your support, we are helping Welthungerhilfe in India to help mothers give birth to healthy babies and ensure that all family members develop well.

You can make a difference

Let's look at the village in Nayagaon, Madhya Pradesh in May 2022. Here, Welthungerhilfe was able to identify the causes of malnutrition among children in the village. Thanks to the knowledge imparted in the camps and the food provided, the number of malnourished children was reduced from 70 to 3.

World Hunger Aid

Welthungerhilfe 's motto is helping people to help themselves, and within this framework it works with local partner organizations in India to improve food security in communities and help the population to become self-sufficient now and in the future.

Help through nutritional assistance

Here we work with the UN World Food Programme (WFP) to help children and their families with essential staple foods to improve their living conditions and prevent malnutrition.

UN World Food Programme (WFP)

WFP has 21,000 employees worldwide and supports several million people in Yemen. WFP is the largest humanitarian organization in the world and provides food aid in emergency situations as well as help for self-help.

Making a difference together

Our partner WFP is currently providing life-saving food to nearly 5 million Yemenis. With your support, many more food items can be distributed to families in Yemen.
