SPONSOR A CHILD
• Keeping in good health is an essential factor, and the lack of it can drastically bring down the well-being of 
a person. Under nutrition is a critical worldwide public health problem that has urged nations to ensure 
Zero Hunger and pave the way for its people's Good Health and Well-being as steps toward achieving the 
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Sponsor a child and save malnourished children. 
Through childhood rescue, protect children from malnutrition you will children a healthy future.
• Although India has been making a modest progress in the maternal and child health and nutrition sector 
for the past few years, a lot needs to be done to be at par with the global standards. According to the 
recently published data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 2019-21, the fifth in the series, 
significant improvements in critical maternal and child-related indicators are not observed. The data 
shows that the percentages of severely wasted children under five, obesity among children and 
adolescents, anaemia among children within the age group of 6-59 months and anaemic women aged 15-
19 years have increased from the previous survey (NFHS 4, 2015-16), calling the attention of the 
policymakers and other stakeholders. Sponsor a child and save malnourished children. Through childhood 
rescue, protect children from malnutrition you will children a healthy future.
SAVE MALNOURISHED CHILDREN
• Adding to the concern, the ongoing pandemic poses an 
increased threat to maternal and child under nutrition 
and compels us to reflect on the cause-and-effect factor 
while reanalysing the interventions and delivery 
mechanisms. With yet another COVID-19 wave expected 
to hit the country, the uncertain and unexpected 
movement restrictions may again make it difficult for the 
people to access crucial healthcare and its related 
services, thereby leading to a further regression.

Through childhood rescue, protect children from 
malnutrition you will children a healthy future.
Therefore, it has become crucial, now more than ever, to channel our attention towards 
addressing these critical issues prevailing in the country. World Vision India, as an 
organisation, is committed to child well-being in the country and has been actively engaging 
with communities across the nation through various projects that have benefitted thousands 
of children. Being a child-focused organisation, child health and nutrition programmes are 
carried out in multiple locations that cater to the children and their mothers and 
adolescents.

Behaviour change communication (BCC) to mothers and key decision-makers in the family is 
an effective strategy to address the issue of malnutrition as most of the feeding, caring and 
health-seeking activities are carried out by them. World Vision (WV) India has been 
implementing various proven models to bring positive behaviour change at the community 
level.
Since 2017, WV India has implemented this first-of-
its-kind model in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, 
and West Bengal. In Odisha, the model was 
implemented at the block level, whereas it was 
implemented only in the primary focus areas in the 
other three states. This research was carried out in 
Odisha to find out the potency of the model with its 
objective to improve Maternal and Child Health and 
Nutrition (MCHN). Sponsor a child and save 
malnourished children. Through childhood rescue, 
protect children from malnutrition you will children a 
healthy future.
