Our Approach
We are a Global Nutrition Organization
We provide nutritional supplements to children in 20 countries around the world using local leaders and local food supplements, focusing on the first 1,000 days of life.
Once a child has been screened and identified as undernourished according to World Health Organization growth charts, they are enrolled in our program.
Bountiful trains the Coordinators
to teach Health Lessons to the families
Our seven health lessons are coupled to initial screenings, periodic follow-up screenings, supplement distribution, and home visits. All needy pregnant and lactating mothers are enrolled in the program and given nutritional supplements, as are children through age 3.
Our health lessons promote exclusive breastfeeding until 6 months,
and nursing mothers are given food supplements.
Our coordinators also educate families on child cognitive development.
Our approach includes:
Micronutrient and calorie
dense supplements
Growth monitoring
every 6 months
Educating families on hygienic,
healthy food preparation
and meal planning
Country and Community Coordinators
Coordinators are selected by local leaders and volunteer to serve the children.

Growth Monitoring in the Philippines
Whether it is on a park bench, on the roadside, in a bamboo hut, under the shade of a mango tree, or on the cement floor, Bountiful coordinators find a way and a place to get the children’s height and weight to check their progress.
