Nutritional Rehabilitation Homes
For Malnourished Children
Our homes restore severely malnourished children to good health while educating their mothers in nutrition and childcare.
what we do
battling infant mortality
Infant mortality in Nepal is one of the highest in the world at 6.4%. The main cause of the problem is ignorance, rather than poverty.
Our homes restore severely malnourished children to good health while educating their mothers in nutrition and childcare.
saving lives
This programme is unique in Nepal and is quite literally saving lives and preventing the onset of physical and mental disabilities.
Since 1998 17 homes have been established, with 8 handed over to the government, restoring the health and vitality of more than 14,000 children.
making it sustainable
Mothers can then share the knowledge with family and members of the community.
To ensure sustainability we transfer management of the Nutritional Rehabilitation Homes to the government after 5 years.
complementing nutrition programmes
Nepal Youth Foundation we offer training to health care workers and medical students on Management of Pediatric Malnutrition.
