Announcement Description

The Transforming Lives Through Nutrition (TLTN) program is a collaborative initiative funded by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and spearheaded by Helen Keller Intl, Vitamin Angels, and iDE. This program is designed to improve the nutrition of underserved pregnant women, infants, and young children globally. The primary goal of TLTN is to enhance maternal and child health by delivering proven nutritional interventions and strengthening health and food systems, focusing on the critical first 1,000 days (from conception to age two).

In response, the TLTN program seeks to collaborate with governments to enhance the capacity of local health and food systems to deliver evidence-based, lifesaving nutrition interventions. Over five years, the program will operate across 12 countries in Africa and Asia, aiming to reach 2.6 million pregnant women and 12 million children. The health system component focuses on improving the quality and coverage of five critical interventions:

  1. Prenatal supplementation.
  2. Vitamin A supplementation and deworming.
  3. Prevention and treatment of acute malnutrition.
  4. Promotion of breastfeeding and maternal diet.
  5. Improved complementary feeding practices.

As a registered international non-profit organization in Cambodia, iDE Cambodia has been active since 1994, supporting farmers, latrine entrepreneurs and social enterprises, facilitating the inclusive development of value chains and business models for affordable products and services in the agriculture, WASH, and nutrition sectors, with a cross-cutting focus on improving access to equality opportunity.
