Shishu Bhojan 

Project Shishu Bhojan focuses on providing nutritional support to the child to ensure that every child has quality food and receives the required nutrition to develop towards their developmental milestones. To also ensure that the family sustains this nutritional choice, Indus Action will work extensively towards their welfare benefits supporting the family as a whole. 

Indus Action will conduct surveys to assess the baseline level of nutritional outcomes and understand the needs of families and communities on the ground. The team will also map the family and onboard them to the program with their consent.

The Program Coordinator and the champions will work alongside the families to support the child’s nutritional needs and monitor the growth of the child through the pilot and beyond. Learnings from this experience will be translated into inputs for scaling the programme and for transferability into other contexts.
