About Our Mission

Fighting Malnutrition, Restoring Hope for Katsina's Future.

The Katsina State Committee On Nutrition is at the forefront of the battle against malnutrition in infants, small and early-born children. We aim to ensure that every child Under Five years receives the nutritional foundation they need to thrive.

Early Intervention

Protecting Those Under Five years

The first years of life are critical. Our committee focuses specifically on the most vulnerable: babies, small children, and those born prematurely. We believe that no child in Katsina should suffer from the effects of malnutrition before they even reach five years.
