Fostering the enduring physical and nutritional well-being of its beneficiaries through support and empowerment.

Health has been a major focus area of SDA since the organisation’s establishment. Health interventions are implemented in partnership with Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs), mothers’ groups, health posts, schools, and local governments.

SDA’s health programmes focus on maternal and child health, nutrition, sanitation, hygiene, preventive healthcare, and health awareness. Particular attention is given to vulnerable populations, including women, children, persons with disabilities, and marginalised communities.

Key activities include maternal health awareness, antenatal care promotion, newborn support packages, school health screenings, malnutrition screening and referral services, menstrual hygiene education, reusable sanitary pad training, water purification training, and emergency support services.

SDA has also supported health infrastructure development through projects such as the Birthing Centre and health-post support initiatives. Regular school screenings help identify malnutrition, dental issues, and other health concerns, allowing timely referrals and interventions.

Through community mobilisation and health awareness campaigns, SDA continues to improve access to healthcare and promote healthier lifestyles throughout the project area.
