Good health and proper nutrition are essential for children and young people to grow, learn, and reach their full potential. At SOS Children’s Villages Bangladesh, health and nutrition are integral to ensuring the overall wellbeing of children, young people, and families under its care.
The programme focuses on preventive and responsive healthcare, ensuring regular health check ups, timely medical support, and access to essential services. Emphasis is placed on maternal and child health, immunisation, hygiene practices, and early identification of health risks to support healthy development.
Nutrition support is guided by age appropriate and balanced dietary planning. Children and young people receive nutritious meals that meet their physical and developmental needs. Caregivers are supported with guidance on food safety, meal planning, and nutrition awareness to promote healthy habits at home.
Health and nutrition initiatives also extend to families and community members, strengthening awareness on hygiene, nutrition, and wellbeing. By addressing both care and prevention, SOS Children’s Villages Bangladesh is building a strong foundation for healthier, more resilient lives.
