Based on the success we’re seeing in Pujehun, we’re expanding the Maternal Mental Health program to serve more mothers and children in Sierra Leone.

We’re learning, growing, and improving how we serve mothers in Pujehun so they have what they need to care for themselves and their families.

We’re excited to share inspiring stories and testimonials coming from our Maternal Health Program in Pujehun.

We launched the first maternal mental health program to prevent severe malnutrition in Sierra Leone. In less than a year, we have accomplished a lot!

Thank you for Helping us Reach the Peak!

With your generous support, we raised enough to launch the Maternal Mental Health program!

Thanks to your generous support, we’ve impacted the lives of over 50 thousand children. To celebrate what we’ve accomplished together, we’re doing a different kind of event – climbing to the highest peak in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro.

Not surprisingly, research has shown that a child’s health suffers when their mother suffers from depression. Supporting mothers’ mental health can be an effective and sustainable tool to prevent child malnutrition.

We are ecstatic to report the oats have successfully reached the factory in Sierra Leone and are being incorporated into the RUTF recipe.

RUTF is the gold standard for treating severe acute malnutrition across the globe. Recent clinical trials with our partner Project Peanut Butter have revealed that adding oats makes the treatment even more effective.

My trip to visit our work in Sierra Leone was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, but I was able to pack a lot into a few short days.

As the year and decade come to a close, we are overjoyed to share the successes from work in Sierra Leone through our partnership with Project Peanut Butter (PPB).

In 2017 Every Child Fed embarked on a research project in the Pujehun District of Sierra Leone in partnership with Project Peanut Butter, USAID, and the World Food Program (WFP). We are excited to report the project has been immensely successful, expanding into the Western Rural Area districts.

In collaboration with Project Peanut Butter, ECF is helping to empower mothers to understand malnutrition and assess their children’s health at home.

Thank you to everyone who donated at the end of 2016 to purchase this SUV! With your help, we are now able to transport nurses to reach children in remote villages in Sierra Leone and save more lives.

The goal of the research is to identify the most cost-effective way to treat moderate acute malnutrition in order to prevent a child from deteriorating to severe acute malnutrition.
