Volunteer in a nutrition project in the Philippines and help Volunteer for the Visayans address a critical public health issue. Volunteers will work closely with VFV staff and local communities to tailor projects to combat hunger and improve food security through heightened nutritional awareness.

Poor nutrition is a major problem in the Filipino community, leading to chronic diseases, malnourishment, and vitamin deficiencies. We aim to educate Filipinos on reducing sugar and salt intake while increasing vegetable consumption. The Nutrition Public Health Project targets preschool children in undernourished communities.

Volunteers will work with VFV's Community Feeding Project, planning, budgeting, and providing supplementary feeding menus for the daily feeding of up to 35 preschool children. At the same time, volunteers will work closely with local mothers to educate them on the importance of nutrition and to investigate and implement long-term solutions to combat hunger and food security. Such methods include investigating the possibility and effectiveness of organizing community feeding kitchens.
