Church leaders in Mozambique are expanding child nutrition screening and intervention efforts in the Maputo area, according to Church News. The program aims to identify and address malnutrition among children in local communities.
The initiative is part of the Church's broader humanitarian work in sub-Saharan Africa, where malnutrition remains a significant public health challenge. Local Church leadership is coordinating the screenings with community health workers.
Mozambique faces high rates of childhood stunting and food insecurity, particularly in rural areas. The Church has operated humanitarian programs in the country for decades, focusing on clean water, agriculture, and health initiatives.
