How Mothers in Turkana County Are Transforming Child Nutrition Through the NICHE programme

In Turkana County, mothers and fathers are improving child nutrition through the Nutrition Improvement through Cash Transfers and Health Education (NICHE) programme. Through World Vision Kenya’s Baby Friendly Community Initiative, caregivers are equipped with practical skills on maternal, infant, and young child nutrition. Guided by Community Health Volunteers, parents learn to prepare nourishing, locally available foods while adopting positive parenting practices that promote child protection. NICHE, part of the Kenya Social and Economic Inclusion Programme (KSEIP), implemented by the Government of Kenya and partners in counties with high levels of malnutrition, including Turkana, Kilifi, Kitui, West Pokot, and Marsabit. Families benefiting from the Inua Jamii cash transfer programme receive a nutrition top-up to help improve diets for pregnant and lactating mothers and children under two, ensuring the first 1,000 days of life count, helping communities build healthier feeding habits and stronger futures for their children.
