July isn’t a Nutrition Month event for us. It’s our mission, every day.
Nationally, roughly 1 in 5 Filipino children under five is still stunted, and here in Caraga, our own communities carry overlapping rates of stunting, wasting, and overweight - a double burden that reminds us malnutrition isn’t just about too little food, but about access, quality, and awareness.
This isn’t a problem that pauses after July, so neither do we.
This past month, that mission looked like feeding kids at Alegria High School, Bitaug Elementary, and Garcia Elementary, made possible by our incredible volunteers and sponsors, Cooperating Volunteers , Mai 🌴 Viajes de autor Filipinas & Marruecos , and Sheyanalyn .
It looked like Janine, a development practitioner and climate leader, traveling to Siargao to train communities on disaster preparedness and why nutrition matters most when a crisis hits.
Nutrition Month just gives us a spotlight. The work itself never stops. It’s about connection, showing up consistently, and celebrating the small, personal wins along the way.
