Promoting Healthy Starts: Nutrition Program at New Manipuram Preschool, Vavuniya

As part of its ongoing efforts to promote child health and nutrition, Caritas Valvuthayam’s Food Security Team conducted a Nutrition Awareness Program for parents of preschool children at New Manipuram Preschool in Vavuniya.

The session was led by an experienced Public Health Midwife, who delivered practical, hands-on training on:

  • Preparing nutritious meals using locally available ingredients
  • Practicing effective and age-appropriate child feeding techniques
  • Understanding the nutritional needs essential for healthy growth and development in early childhood

A total of 20 mothers participated in the training, showcasing strong community involvement and a deep commitment to improving their children’s health and future through informed nutritional practices.

This program reflects Caritas Valvuthayam’s mission to empower families, reduce childhood malnutrition, and build healthier, food-secure communities in the Mannar and Vavuniya districts.

Good nutrition today builds stronger futures tomorrow.
