Caritas India’s SABAL program addresses severe hunger and malnutrition among the Korku tribe in Central India. It focuses on increasing and diversifying food production, ensuring access to food and nutrition rights, and promoting behavioral changes for better health, hygiene, and sanitation. By partnering with grassroots NGOs, SABAL aims to secure food and nutrition for 12,000 Korku households. The program’s three-pronged strategy enhances livelihood opportunities, ensures year-round food availability, and provides holistic nutrition. Complementing government efforts, SABAL empowers marginalized communities, fostering sustainable development and resilience against food insecurity.
