This program is dedicated to enhancing food and nutrition security in the communities we serve – with a special focus on the nutritionally most vulnerable; pregnant & lactating mothers, children under 5 years, People Living with HIV & AIDS, and refugees. It operates at three key levels:
We support families with a Home-based edible Insect Farming Kit linked to a back-yard vegetable garden to benefit from the organic fertilizers from insect farming. The aim is to integrate edible insect protein, & vegetables into local dishes, and promote dietary diversity. This promotes nutritious diets & sustainable food systems at household levels, so we can uproot malnutrition and hunger right from the family!

MAMAH has established community edible insect breeding centers to provide the wider community access to seed of edible insects for onward rearing & consumption. We have also established farmer Learning Sites where community members can learn climate- smart food production techniques.

We work to strengthen public nutrition service delivery in the communities we serve through the Community Balanced Scorecard, a tool that empowers communities to hold nutrition service providers accountable so as to improve public services delivery. This focuses on service delivery points such as at sub-district health centers.
