Supplementary Feeding Programs

Supplementary Feeding Programs are initiatives designed to provide additional nutritional support to vulnerable populations, such as children, pregnant women, or those facing food insecurity. These programs aim to prevent malnutrition by offering nutrient-rich foods or supplements, especially in areas where food shortages or poor diets are common. They often work alongside other health and social services to improve health outcomes, promote growth, and reduce disease. The goal is to ensure that individuals receive adequate nutrition to maintain health and development, particularly during critical periods of growth or crisis situations.
