Health & Nutrition

With 47% stunting rate (TNS 2018) above national average 32%, Rukwa is one of the regions in Tanzania with high under-nutrition rates despite being one of the bread basket regions of Tanzania. Before Lishe Endelevu interventions, Rukwa had not recently received any donor support targeting nutrition.

Meet Mr. Donat Mdao (47 years old) a Lishe Endelevu crop model farmer who lives in Kongwa at Matongoro ward of Dodoma Region. He is a farmer and the only parent to his three under five children after his wife passed away a year ago.

Investing efforts to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health in the country is a critical matter which needs combined efforts from the government, development partners and stakeholders.
