They go door to door and examine more than 12,000 children. Initially, they measure arm or brachial circumference. Depending on those results, they also perform other measurements to determine whether a child is malnourished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After each screening, severely malnourished children are referred to partner hospitals and health centres, depending on the severity of malnutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moderately malnourished children are cared for in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project is implemented in 47 villages in N&#8217;Dali commune and the larger town of Kassouala in Tchaourou commune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Foundation is also active in 17 other villages, with groups of Femmes Ambassadrices de Nutrition doing screenings of malnourished children and conducting cooking workshops every three months for mothers on balanced nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/hubi-vinciane.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Voeding_2-1-2_OndervoedeKinderen_0411_1200.jpg\" alt=\"Malnutrition\" class=\"wp-image-27336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hubi-vinciane.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Voeding_2-1-2_OndervoedeKinderen_0411_1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/hubi-vinciane.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Voeding_2-1-2_OndervoedeKinderen_0411_1200-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hubi-vinciane.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Voeding_2-1-2_OndervoedeKinderen_0411_1200-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Results and Evolution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With more than 12,000 children screened during each campaign, we reach nearly 7,000 families.

The Foundation\u2019s nutritionist leads this project. Once a year, he and a team of 13 social workers examine all children under five years of age in the villages of the intervention zone. Initially, the project involved 47 villages in N'Dali. The project's intervention area has been extended to Tchaourou with 16 other towns for he past year.

Moderately malnourished children receive additional follow-up at home. The screening takes about one month and is only one part of the project.
