Using Media To Educate People On Malnutrition

By Steven Waddell | Founder and Executive Director

District Nutriion Coordination Committee Meeting
District Nutriion Coordination Committee Meeting

PLATFORM for the NEEDY (PLANE) is focusing on fighting the child stunting and malnutrition in Uganda. Through different nutrition innovations PLANE is empowering marginalized children and mothers and the entire public to break the cycle of malnutrition and poverty by intensifying the campaigns of sensitizing and educating the public about the problem..

PLANE is engaging the public using the radio talk shows on Voice of Toro 101 FM. We carried out two radio talk shows and two shows on Fort Television. These are aimed at sensitizing the people on the value of good feeding. We believe that once the people get the information, they are able to have good practices.a m

We also organized a meeting for the District Nutrition Coordination committee to discuss about the best ways and interventions we can fight malnutrition in Kabarole district.

 While PLANE's progress is undeniable, the path ahead is not without obstacles. With limited traction on fundraising platform GlobalGiving, a mere $320 donations in this quarter could not do much.

This time we could not move to the communities to teach kitchen gardens because of the limited funding.

The imperative need for increased donor engagement underscores the urgency of bridging the gap between intention and impact.

PLANE extends profound appreciation to donors, recognizing the support rendered to us on GlobalGiving.

Every support you give helps us take reach the people, educate them on the nutrition practices.  

This plays a critical role in nurturing vulnerable children and communities.

Each contribution serves as a relief of hope, creating the path towards a brighter future for Ugandan children and mothers who are mostly affected by malnutrition.

 PLANE calls upon donors to stand in solidarity with Ugandan children, advocating for sustained support to catalyze enduring progress. By amplifying PLANE's narrative within their spheres of influence, donors can cause transformation, ensuring every child receives the nourishment needed to thrive.

 PLANE pledges to remain dedicated to catalyzing change and fostering collaboration with GlobalGiving and donors. Together, we embark on a shared journey of empowerment and resilience, reshaping the narrative of child stunting in Uganda.
