HAM offers daily meals to students and emergency food aid to families during crises, collaborates with community health initiatives (like “Maman Lumières”) to train caregivers, promote kitchen gardens, and rehabilitate malnourished children
Through its school feeding program, the organization provides daily hot meals to students, ensuring children receive the nourishment they need to stay healthy, focused, and ready to learn. These meals are often the only reliable source of nutrition for many children, making them a vital part of both educational success and overall well-being.
In times of crisis—whether due to economic hardship, climate shocks, or family emergencies—HAM-NKURIZA delivers emergency food aid to affected households, preventing hunger and offering immediate relief to families in distress.
Beyond direct aid, the organization works hand-in-hand with community health initiatives, such as the nationally recognized “Maman Lumières” program. These trained local women serve as community role models, offering practical guidance on nutrition, hygiene, child care, and food preparation. HAM-NKURIZA supports their mission by organizing training sessions and supplying materials to help them reach even more families.
A key focus of their long-term strategy is promoting household and school-based kitchen gardens. These gardens not only enhance food self-sufficiency but also encourage sustainable agricultural practices at the community level. Families are taught how to grow diverse, nutrient-rich crops, helping to combat malnutrition and foster resilience.
In collaboration with local health workers and government partners, HAM-NKURIZA also plays a pivotal role in identifying, treating, and rehabilitating malnourished children, ensuring they receive appropriate medical care, nutritional support, and follow-up.
