At World Partnership for Development (WPD), we believe that healthy people are the foundation of strong communities. Our work in health and nutrition focuses on prevention, access to care, and improving nutrition for all, especially vulnerable groups.

​

Here’s what we will do:

1. Improve Access to Health Services

   • Support local health centers with medical supplies and equipment.

   • Organize mobile clinics to reach remote areas.
     Example: Bringing vaccination and basic health services to villages that are far from hospitals.

2. Promote Preventive Health Practices

   • Educate communities about hygiene, sanitation, and disease prevention.

   • Encourage handwashing, safe water use, and proper waste disposal.
     Example: Demonstrating how washing hands regularly can prevent diarrhea in children.

3. Support Maternal and Child Health

   • Provide guidance and services for pregnant women and new mothers.

   • Promote child growth monitoring and immunization programs.
     Example: Ensuring babies receive essential vaccines on time.

4. Nutrition Education and Support

   • Teach families about balanced diets and healthy eating habits.

   • Support community gardens, school feeding programs, and nutrition supplements.
     Example: Encouraging families to grow vegetables at home to improve children’s nutrition.

5. Address Malnutrition and Food Security

   • Identify and assist malnourished children and adults.

   • Collaborate with local farmers to provide nutritious foods.
     Example: Distributing fortified foods to children at risk of malnutrition.

6. Promote Mental Health and Well-being

   • Raise awareness about mental health issues.

   • Offer counseling and support services in the community.
     Example: Providing guidance to youth and adults facing stress or trauma.

7. Emergency Health Support

   • Respond to outbreaks, epidemics, or health emergencies in communities.

   • Work with local authorities to ensure timely medical interventions.
     Example: Coordinating vaccination campaigns during a measles outbreak.
