Fundamental 2:
Nutrition
Nutritious food and clean water
Why it matters
Even when food exists, access does not. Hunger and unsafe water undermine health, learning, and livelihoods.
The reality
- 1 in 11 people experience hunger daily
- Global hunger has returned to 2008 levels
- More than 500,000 people die annually from contaminated water
The Corus approach
Corus partners with families and communities to ensure reliable access to nutritious food and safe water — in emergencies and for the long term.
Our work includes
- Malnutrition screening and treatment
- Home gardening and food production
- Nutrition education
- Clean water and sanitation services
- Humanitarian food assistance
