NASSCOM supports Nourishing Schools Foundation
Nourishing Schools Foundation, a non-profit focused on helping children take charge of tackling malnutrition, has been selected for the Social Innovation Catalyst programme.
This programme, a joint initiative of NASSCOM Foundation’s corporate volunteering programme – My Kartavya and Tietoevry, aims at strengthening the NGO ecosystem by mentoring select non-profits to overcome tech challenges for a lasting impact.
Adolescents in India face several nutrition-related challenges and due to a lack of data, their health and nutrition are often overlooked. Through the Social Innovation Catalyst programme, NASSCOM Foundation will support Nourishing Schools Foundation in building a Data Hub on adolescent health and nutrition. This will improve various stakeholders’ understanding of adolescent health and nutrition, enable them to compare data across geographies and themes, and suggest priority areas of action.
