Health and Nutrition

EPRC’s Health and Nutrition Program improves community well-being by promoting safe food, balanced nutrition, and preventive healthcare for vulnerable populations. Through nutrition education, food safety awareness, and public health interventions, the program addresses undernutrition, food-borne diseases, and health risks linked to unsafe food and hazardous chemicals. With a strong focus on maternal and child health, hygiene, sanitation, immunization, and occupational safety, EPRC strengthens healthier, safer, and more resilient communities.
