Nutrition

A world where all children are nourished

At World Vision, we believe that no child should suffer or die from malnutrition – a preventable condition. Across more than 30 countries, we’ve helped severely malnourished children recover and regain their health. In over 40 countries, we’ve used local, food-based solutions to rehabilitate underweight children and build resilience in their communities.

We’ve empowered parents to detect early signs of undernutrition, helping prevent needless child deaths. We’ve supported the creation of Women, Adolescent and Young Child-friendly Spaces in emergency settings – safe places where women receive breastfeeding support, counselling, and practical care.

We’ve seen lives transformed. But the work is far from over.

Children continue to die from preventable causes driven by violence, displacement, and poverty. Families still lack access to basic nutrition services and knowledge. We are committed to changing that. 

World Vision is working to:

• Promote adequate nutrition for children, women, and adolescent girls
• Strengthen health systems and communities to better serve the most vulnerable
• Distribute ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) to treat severe malnutrition
• Equip families with knowledge on nutrition and appropriate complementary feeding

Together, we can restore hope and build a future where all children are well-nourished and thriving.
