Advancing Child Nutrition and the Right to Health

As a child rights organization, ACRIF works to make sure children have the
food, care, and health services they need to grow healthy and strong. We supports
mothers, children, and families through better nutrition, safe pregnancy and childbirth,
child health services, disease prevention, school health, and access to quality care,
while also working with communities and decision-makers to improve health and
nutrition for everyone
