Supplementary Nutrition Program

The Supplementary Nutrition Program (SNP) provides additional food support to vulnerable groups, particularly pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children, to ensure they receive essential nutrients. Operated by government agencies and partnered organizations, it aims to improve health, prevent malnutrition, and promote healthy growth. The program often includes distribution of fortified foods, take-home rations, and feeding sessions at community centers. It plays a vital role in addressing nutritional deficiencies in low-income populations, supporting overall well-being, and promoting development through targeted nutritional intervention.
