Japan helps improve nutrition in Yen Bai

The project, a joint effort between Save the Children Japan and the Japanese government, aims to promote communication activities to provide knowledge on health and nutrition for mothers and pregnant women in the province.

Since the 2012 fiscal year, Save the Children Japan with the Japanese government’s non-refundable aid has conducted numerous activities to help raise awareness of health and nutrition, increase cash income and provide information on agricultural production in Van Chan district. 

The Japanese non-governmental organization will work with the provincial departments of health and agriculture and rural development to expand the household nutritious vegetable garden model, while seeking micro-credit for local women and training them in household finance.
