Nutrition
Nutrition, TAWEA encourage and campaign for protecting and improving health, especially in poor communities that require a combination of community and facility-based activities for the improvement of wellbeing of the people through various initiatives such as raising awareness on and promotion of biological fortification of foods, industrial fortification, taking supplement nutrients, nutrition education and practices.
The main targeted groups are mothers of reproductive age and children under five years as the primary focus, but others in the household are also targeted. The work aims at reducing malnutrition and hence making women and children active members of the society. In this category TAWEA’s work concentrates on the promotion and utilization of improved food products such as Vitamin A orange fleshed sweet potato, Pro-Vitamin A and High Iron/Zinc beans.
