🩺 “Food banks are uniquely positioned to help individuals with diabetes manage their condition more effectively,” says Daniel Hatfield, PhD, senior public health researcher at FHI 360 and adjunct assistant professor at Tufts University. “They have existing resources like food distribution infrastructure and staff with expertise in nutrition, making them well-suited to provide diabetes services.” 📊 More than 38 million Americans live with #diabetes, and those facing food insecurity are particularly affected. FHI 360’s free toolkit helps food banks assess readiness, build partnerships, recruit participants and launch programs that improve health outcomes for people with diabetes. ✅ Explore the readiness assessment here: https://lnkd.in/eZeSNiRr #FoodBank #FoodInsecurity #DiabetesCare #DiabetesAwareness

💛 Outside the Azam Central Mosque in Hisor City, Tajikistan, a caregiver supports a person with tuberculosis (TB). This isn’t just compassion — it’s part of a new model of care. Imam Azalshoh became the first of the project’s 82 trained religious leaders to sign a contract with a TB patient, ensuring material support — helping ensure no one walks the path to recovery alone. Faith and public health are working side by side to end TB. 📍Hisor City, Tajikistan 📷: Nozim Qalandarov for FHI 360 #Tajikistan #EndTB #FaithInAction #HumanitarianAid #PublicHealth #TB #FHI360GHS #GlobalHealthSecurity #WCLH2025

🥗 “Limited or unreliable access to safe and nutritious food can impact anyone — from mothers and children to older adults, from people living in urban communities to those in rural America,” says Daniel Hatfield, PhD, senior public health researcher at FHI 360 and adjunct assistant professor at Tufts University. 💡 “We know from research that people who experience food insecurity are at an increased risk for Type 2 diabetes.” To help address this challenge, FHI 360 created a free toolkit for U.S. #foodbanks to establish community-based #diabetes programs. 🏦 Food banks are uniquely positioned to help individuals with diabetes manage their condition. They’re trusted by the communities they serve and have the infrastructure and #nutrition expertise to make a real impact. 👉 Explore the toolkit: https://lnkd.in/e23xvnKZ #FoodBank #FoodInsecurity #DiabetesCare #DiabetesAwareness

Stigma can be as harmful as disease, discouraging people from seeking care, worsening health outcomes and undermining public health efforts. That’s why FHI 360 and national partners in Tajikistan are working with imams and other trusted leaders who can reach people when no one else can. 🗣️ “I always tell people during my khutbas [sermons] to think about how much contribution they will bring to their society.”  After hearing Imam Azalshoh’s messages at Friday prayers, a growing number of congregants have expressed a desire to help people with drug-resistant tuberculosis, expanding the network of support and ensuring lasting change.  🕌 Faith-based outreach is a bridge to healing. 🔗 Discover the impact: https://bit.ly/4mhQYwo #Tajikistan #EndTB #FaithInAction #HumanitarianAid #PublicHealth #TB #FHI360GHS #GlobalHealthSecurity #WCLH2025

"When governments lead with vision and partners provide strategic support, we can achieve transformative results in eliminating malnutrition and ensuring that no child is left behind." - HE. Deirdre Ní Fhallúin, Ambassador of 🇮🇪 #Ireland to Viet Nam, Cambodia and Laos. 🤱 Breastfeeding support is a critical tool in combatting wasting and stunting in children under 5. That’s why the 🇰🇭 Royal Government of #Cambodia today designated twelve hospitals 🏥 as Centers of Excellence for Breastfeeding, the first facilities to achieve this recognition. Led by the Ministry of Health through the National Maternal and Child Health Center, in collaboration with Alive & Thrive/FHI 360 and Helen Keller International – Cambodia, and supported by the Embassy of Ireland, Vietnam, the initiative integrates international best practices in early essential newborn care and breastfeeding support. With this support, mothers and babies get their best chance at a healthy start. 🔗 Read the news release here: https://bit.ly/49YDdiE #Malnutrition #BreastfeedingSupport #Newborncare 📸: Maly Phou for FHI 360

We know that there are effective programs designed for parents and caregivers to support their children’s mental and motor development. 👩👩👧👦 What is less known is how to successfully scale these programs. FHI 360 helped build an evidence base around playful parenting programs funded by the LEGO Foundation in Bhutan, Rwanda, Serbia and Zambia to understand what works and trace effective pathways to scale. 💡 Learn more about the research here: https://bit.ly/4r1a3FY 📷 Photo courtesy of UNICEF Serbia

🤒 Malnutrition makes people sicker. 📚 Decades of evidence show that people who are malnourished are far more likely to get sick — and die — from infectious diseases. 🔥 Malnutrition causes inflammation and weakens the body’s ability to produce antibodies and fight off illness. 👶 This is especially dangerous for children, whose developing immune systems are highly vulnerable to both malnutrition and disease. 💡 The solution? Invest in targeted nutrition to build resilience, strengthen immunity, and save lives.
