Nutrition outreach reaches remote communities

Across parts of South Sudan, distance and limited services keep many families from the nutrition support they need. Green Planet South Sudan (GPSS) is closing that gap by bringing screening and referral directly to communities.

Through mobile outreach, GPSS teams work alongside community health volunteers to identify children and mothers who need support, provide guidance on nutrition and hygiene, and connect families to further care. The approach is simple but powerful: meet people where they are.

An integrated approach

Nutrition rarely stands alone. GPSS pairs its health and nutrition work with clean water and hygiene promotion, livelihoods support and protection — so that a child screened today is also part of a household that can grow food, access safe water and stay safe tomorrow.

"When we reach a family early, we don't just treat a symptom — we help build a healthier future for the whole household."

Looking ahead

With the support of partners and donors, GPSS aims to extend outreach to more communities, strengthen referral pathways and continue measuring the difference these programmes make. Every contribution helps another family access life-changing support.
