CORE SERVICES: Food and Shelter

These services are aimed to ensure that vulnerable children have nutritional resources similar to those of other children in their communities. Though conceived of as a time-limited strategy, these programs aim to leverage other partners and identify more sustainable solutions. The range of services might include:
1) Child level:
· Nutritional assessment and counseling,
· Supplementary feeding as Teule pays for meals for the children in the schools that they attend and provide nutritional supplements on a monthly basis to the child’s caregiver’s family.
· Links to other health and nutrition interventions;
Feeding in the Chombo cha Upendo home whereby Teule provide the children with all the meals.
2) caregiver/family level:
Training on nutrition, diet, and food preparation during monthly caregivers’ meetings;
3) Community level:
Community-based strategies to support the children where caregivers are encouraged to form caregivers’ groups and have vegetable gardens.
