Project Report | Apr 23, 2026
BEING INTENTIONAL WITH THE COMMUNITY

By Anthony Richard Hulula | Director/Project Leader

Nutrition is the backbone of any thriving community. From the outside, our work may sometimes look like a routine activity—serving meals, gathering mothers, measuring children. But from within, it is something far deeper. It is a calling. A daily commitment to stand with the community at its most vulnerable point—when hunger, health, and hope intersect.

And in this journey, we are not alone. You—our GlobalGiving donors—have walked with us faithfully. You have held our hands when the need felt overwhelming. You have supported us beyond expectation, and for that, we are deeply grateful. You chose us among many, and you have continued to trust us with your resources.

We want you to know: The NGAO Foundation will not let you down.

Introduction

This report highlights activities implemented under our Food and Nutrition Program from January to March 2026. The program focuses on pregnant and lactating mothers and children, ensuring improved nutrition, healthier lives, and stronger futures.

Our Commitment

During this quarter, we remained focused on:

  • Improving maternal nutrition and health outcomes
  • Supporting child growth through structured feeding
  • Strengthening nutrition monitoring systems
  • Expanding consistent, community-based support

Children Feeding Program

Every Saturday, the Centre comes alive. Over 300 children gather weekly, each one welcomed, each one fed. No child is turned away. From toddlers to older vulnerable youth, every plate served is a statement: you matter.

During school holidays, when vulnerability increases, feeding becomes daily—because hunger does not wait for school calendars.

Supporting Mothers, Nurturing Generations

Our Pregnant and Lactating Mothers Program continues to be a pillar of hope.

  • Weekly nutrition and health education sessions
  • Bi-weekly porridge feeding support
  • Weekly distribution of 4kg of fortified porridge flour per mother

Beyond food, we walk alongside these mothers through:

  • Blood pressure checks
  • Blood sugar screening
  • General health assessments

This is where prevention meets care—where mothers are empowered, not just supported.

Building Continuity Through Cohorts

We are currently implementing our 5th cohort, running through May 2026.

Each cohort represents:

  • A new beginning for mothers
  • A structured pathway of support
  • A bridge to long-term resilience

Importantly, we continue follow-up care for past participants—ensuring no one is left behind once a cycle ends.

Monitoring Growth, Protecting Futures

We conducted regular growth monitoring for children, including:

  • Weight and height measurements
  • BMI assessments

These are not just numbers—they are early warning systems, helping us identify and respond to malnutrition before it becomes life-threatening.

Key Achievements

This quarter, together with you, we achieved:

  • Consistent weekly feeding of 300+ children
  • Increased participation in maternal health sessions
  • Strengthened cohort-based program structure
  • Continued follow-up support for past beneficiaries
  • Improved child growth monitoring systems

Challenges We Face

Even with progress, challenges remain:

  • Lack of a dedicated space for mothers affects privacy and care quality
  • Limited resources restricting program expansion
  • Weather disruptions are impacting outdoor activities

These are not barriers—but reminders of how much more can be done.

The Way Forward

To deepen our impact, we are focusing on:

  • Creating a dedicated maternal care space
  • Expanding feeding and nutrition services
  • Strengthening infrastructure for long-term sustainability

Closing Reflection

What may look like routine from the outside is, in truth, a lifeline. A meal served is a child’s strength restored. A mother supported is a generation protected. A community nourished is a future secured.

This work is intentional. It is personal. It is transformational.

And it is only possible because of you. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for standing with this community. Thank you for making impact not just possible—but sustainable.
