Why

Empower women to raise healthy families by helping them gain reliable access to nutritious food.

What

Too many mothers in South Sudan have endured the heartbreak of watching their children suffer from malnutrition. But with help from CMMB South Sudan, more women are gaining education and resources to support their families’ nutrition and health.

Since 2023, CMMB South Sudan has worked with UNICEF to provide nutrition services to women and children in remote communities of the country’s Western Equatoria state. We deliver screening, Vitamin A supplementation, deworming medication, and medical treatment for children and women experiencing severe acute malnourishment.

Critically, CMMB South Sudan empowers women to support their families’ long-term nutritional needs. Women learn how to create productive gardens and cook diverse, nutritional foods for their children. With seeds that we provide and encouragement from mothers’ groups that we support, women plant gardens that yield nutritious fruits and vegetables—changing their families’ futures.
