Emma's Baby SOUP
Learning is difficult if a child is malnourished and suffering from illness. Our Emma's Baby SOUP (EBS) program relies on a holistic health approach facilitated through medical attention at the SOUP Primary School, the provision of nutrient-rich food, community workshops, parent counseling, and home visits throughout Nabikabala Village. Through our continuous engagement with 120 community families each year, EBS combats some of the areas greatest health risks. Through these services, we open up opportunities for our community’s children by proactively recognizing and addressing community health needs. The children in this program are prioritized for admission to our Nursery School, creating a full continuum of care.
