Mobilizing communities for appropriate food and nutrition awareness raising.

Child Health Care and Development Foundation is a private sector implementing agency that works in collaboration with the Community women in vegetable and fruits towards mobilizing communities in creating awareness for local and appropriate community food delivery initially targeting children from ages 6 to 10 years in the Aberdeen Community viewed as a hot zone during the Ebola crisis, displacement of families their shelter and also followed by the flood last year.

Acknowledgments:

An earlier version of this training manual was originally prepared by nutrition consultants Driving Transformative Innovation to Save Lives (PATH) under USAID so as to enable us introduce community food schemes for vulnerable schools and communities.

Our food schemes:

The food schemes are a community driven Development flagship creating community awareness for appropriate food systems. The scheme aims at forging a long term partnership with the private sector women in communities dealing with domestic goods including grassroots organisations community leaders and religious leaders.

Our vision is a commitment towards creating awareness on nutrition and local food practices for mothers and young school children in communities to reduce dependence on government. Since the government itself is faced with numerous challenges.

However, NutriCare Sierra Leone Programme and its partners aimed at building on a 25 years leadership platform in creating a road map for community appropriate feeding awareness through the food schemes to complement the efforts of the current government. Nutrition in Sierra Leone:

The Government of Sierra Leone is committed towards promoting, protect, and supporting optimal child nutrition and feeding for both infants and young child because nutrition practices have significant health, social, and economic benefits. But however, the government has numerous tasks. Therefore we as a private sector and as a people, has the ardent desire to be able to complement the government of Sierra Leone in through the creation of food schemes for both schools and communities nationwide with a first phase case study in Aberdeen community. Our work is to reduce dependency on government to help empower women economically through a direct market system.

Meaning of Direct Market System:

Direct market system is an added advantage for the economic empowerment of our women in the domestic trade. NutriCare Programme helps to create a constant market potential to buy domestic goods directly from community women who in return buy domestic food stuffs from long distance small holders’ farm gates in the form of whole sales. During the process, they also encounter numerous constraints ranging from highway criminal who extort money from them by means of violence, Delayed Transportation DT.- Non Preservative Measures NPM. Packaging - Problems PP. and Uncontrolled Price System UPS.

But however, these cannot be achieved without the effective inclusion of our community women dealing in vegetable and fruits business for an empowerment partnership towards improving the health and nutrition volume of their own children during their 6 to 10 years of child life .Why intends to work with women in communities-

NutriCare has recently realized that a woman commands 75% of our gross domestic food chain in Sierra Leone. They supplies the following institutions with fruits and vegetables on daily basis.

Hotels, Lebanese houses, shops and a large spectrum of institutions. But yet still they are trapped in poverty>

Our Focus:

Our focus is to create sustainable, culturally relevant nutrition solutions, towards enabling communities to break the long standing cycles of poverty and poor health family settlements.

We shall collaborate with government and INGOS through engagement and dialogs, coupled with diverse public- and private-sector opinions, we help communities to provide appropriate health challenges and vital strategies that change the way people think and act in our communities towards improving the well-being of mainly women and children based on global health resilient trends.

Meaning of a resilient nation:

A. The ability for a nation to recover or adjust easily to crisis, misfortune towards a change.

B. A Society capable of withstanding SHOCK e.g. The Ebola without permanent deformation or rupture.

C. Tending to recover from an accident or a problem that could cause a nation or population to flee from one settlement to another.
