"We envision communities where every individual, every family and every household enjoys nourishment and health through local, safe, nutritious food."
Our mission is to actively engage communities so that everyone has access to safe, nutritious food and the tools to live healthier, more resilient lives.

Food Safety & Education
Through outreach and training, we teach safe food handling, hygiene practices, and contamination prevention in homes, schools, and markets.
Livelihoods & Value-Addition
We support community members—especially women and youth—to add value to local food (packaging, marketing) and create income opportunities.
Partnerships & Advocacy
Collaborating with local government and NGOs to influence policy, scale nutrition interventions, and build strong food systems.
