By improving families’ access to nutritious food and increasing their incomes, we can ensure healthy lives, thriving communities
Good health is important for everyone, regardless of age. However, when people lack access to sufficient food or can only afford low nutritional value options, their health suffers significantly. A well-nourished body is better equipped to fight diseases, recover form illnesses and maintain overall well-being and quality of life.
We recognise the critical relationship between nutrition and health and are committed to addressing malnutrition and promoting healthy living. Our health and nutrition programs go beyond just providing meals. We focus on improving access to nutritious food for vulnerable and poor households that will impact their health and well-being. We work with food banks and partners nationwide to address food insecurity, nutrition, and health.
We also develop research that focuses on the roles that food, community-based interventions, healthcare and food banks partnerships play in improving outcomes.

We work to ensure access to nutritious, safe, and affordable food for all. Our efforts focus on addressing food deserts, increasing fresh produce availability, and promoting whole food distribution. We support community-based initiatives like gardens, cooperatives, and mobile markets, as well as online platforms and nutrition education.
By improving access to healthy food, we aim to reduce diet-related health disparities, improve overall well-being, and foster community engagement, ultimately promoting food justice and equity.
We empower individuals and communities with nutrition education to make informed food choices and adopt healthy eating habits. Our programs focus on promoting nutritional knowledge, cooking skills, and mindful eating practices, with an emphasis on whole, locally sourced foods.
Through workshops, training sessions, and community outreach, we equip people with the skills and confidence to prepare nutritious meals, read food labels, and navigate the food environment.
By educating and engaging diverse audiences, we aim to prevent diet-related diseases, improve overall well-being, and foster a culture of healthy eating and nutrition literacy.
We engage with communities to improve nutrition and health outcomes by addressing food security concerns and promoting healthy relationships with food. Through participatory approaches, we empower community members to identify and address local nutrition challenges, develop culturally relevant solutions, and advocate for policies supporting healthy food access.
Our community engagement initiatives focus on nutrition education, food skills training, and community-led projects, fostering environments where healthy food choices are accessible, affordable, and desirable. By amplifying community voices and collective action, we aim to reduce nutrition-related disparities, improve health outcomes, and enhance overall well-being.
We advocate for policy changes and influential practices to ensure equitable access to healthy food, addressing the root causes of food insecurity and malnutrition.
Through research-driven advocacy, we inform and shape policies, programs, and initiatives at local, national, and global levels. Our policy and advocacy efforts focus on promoting nutrition-sensitive agriculture, supporting sustainable food systems, and protecting the rights of vulnerable populations to nutritious food.
By collaborating with decision-makers, civil society organizations, and community leaders, we aim to create an enabling environment for healthy food choices, reduce diet-related inequalities, and ensure that food security policies prioritize nutrition and well-being for all.
