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.
