Caring for Women and Children Through Improved Nutrition

As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we have a responsibility to care for all of God’s children around the world. One of the ways we make the biggest impact is by prioritizing the health and well-being of women and children. Through global food security, immunization, education, refugee response, and maternal and newborn care initiatives, our goal is to help children reach their full potential.

Building Self-Reliance

Self-reliance is a key to success and happiness, both for individuals and for communities. To help foster self-reliance, the Church offers programs and resources. Members are encouraged to develop their own talents and abilities, as well as find strength in the Lord, and use them to serve and contribute to their communities.

How Can You Get Involved?

Some of the best opportunities to serve one another begin with active participation in our homes and neighborhoods. People of all backgrounds come together to solve local problems and help individuals in their communities feel loved.
