Community Health Workers Providing Basic Nutrition Education to Improve Child Feeding
Community health workers visit mothers in the neighborhood and educate them on proper child feeding practices, emphasizing reducing sugar intake and providing essential nutrition advice. This basic education, delivered nine times, has been proven to reduce stunting in children. Mothers have to purchase the recommended food, but the cost mainly covers the educational aspect rather than actual food expenses. This approach is cost-effective and minimizes corruption risks compared to distributing food directly. The focus is on redistributing resources to empower mothers to improve their child's nutrition.
