The need

Hunger and malnutrition in rural Bangladesh

Bangladesh has made real progress, yet undernutrition still shapes children’s lives. In the 2022 national health survey about 22 percent of children under five were stunted, too short for their age because of long-term poor nutrition, and nearly 10 percent were wasted, too thin for their height.21

In a village where most families live on daily wages, a day without work is a day without money for food. Children who go to bed hungry find it hard to concentrate, fall ill more often and are more likely to leave school.22

  • 22.5%of Bangladeshi children under five were stunted (BDHS 2022)21
  • 9.7%were wasted, too thin for their height (BDHS 2022)21
  • 70%of households in Gonali live on daily wages (our surveys)22

How it works

How Food & Nutrition Support works, step by step

  1. Find the need

    Our local team knows the families and sees who is struggling most.

  2. Prepare and share meals

    Simple, warm meals are cooked and served to children together, with care for hygiene.

  3. Add nutrition care

    Food packs and essential groceries for families in hard times, with guidance on eating well.

  4. Link food to school

    Fed children attend more regularly, so meals and education work together.

Meals for the children of Gonali

One family came to us not knowing where the next meal would come from. Through our nutrition programme the children now receive regular meals, and they attend school more consistently.

Every meal you see in our photographs was served by people who live in the village and know the children by name.
