Nutrition

HEARDO implements comprehensive nutrition interventions aimed at improving the nutritional status and wellbeing of vulnerable populations, with a particular focus on pregnant and lactating women, children under five, adolescent girls, and marginalized households. The organization delivers community-based nutrition education and counselling, including Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices, to promote healthy dietary behaviors and prevent malnutrition. Nutrition programming is closely linked with health, WASH, and food security initiatives to address underlying causes of malnutrition through an integrated approach. All nutrition activities are designed and implemented using evidence-based methodologies and are supported by strong MEAL systems, community feedback mechanisms, and safeguarding measures to ensure accountability, quality, and do-no-harm principles while responding effectively to community needs.
