ARD works to improve access to essential health and nutrition services for vulnerable families and communities.
Conflict, displacement, poverty and limited access to health services leave many families vulnerable to preventable illness and malnutrition, particularly women and children.
ARD works with communities, health authorities and partners to improve access to essential health and nutrition support, promote healthy practices and strengthen community awareness.
Our programme prioritises children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, internally displaced families and other vulnerable people with limited access to essential services.
Supporting access to essential health information and services for mothers, infants and children.
Promoting prevention, early identification and appropriate referral of malnutrition among vulnerable children and families.
Building awareness of disease prevention, hygiene, nutrition and healthy practices through community-based activities.
Helping vulnerable people identify and access appropriate health and nutrition services through information, outreach and referral.
