ELOIM in partnership with Buwenge Hospital recognize and give priority to malnutrition in children.
To achieve this, we provide education and resources to mothers, teaching them about the importance of proper nutrition and how to make healthy food choices for themselves and their babies. We also distribute food and supplements to ensure that mothers and babies have access to the nutrients they need.
