Health & Nutrition

Programme overview

Health & Nutrition

Poor health and hunger keep families trapped in poverty. Children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers are the most at risk.

YAAP works with communities on health and hygiene awareness, good feeding practices for young children, and getting people to health facilities when they need care.

Young volunteers carry these messages into their own villages and neighbourhoods.
