What We Do

Malnourished children face elevated risks of mortality and morbidity. While hospital-based treatment for severe acute malnutrition is not always feasible, especially in rural areas, home-based interventions can be more suitable. Our Energy Protein Dense (EPD) powder offers a therapeutic solution for treating severe acute malnutrition in children aged six months to five years within the comfort of their homes.
Developed by Britannia Nutrition Foundation, our EPD powder is made from a blend of sesame seeds, puffed rice (murmura), jaggery (gud), groundnuts, and roasted chickpeas. This nutritious mixture, crafted by 10 Self-Help Groups (SHGs) women in Gwalior, is distributed across 59 villages. Rich in iron, protein, and vitamins, it serves as a vital nutritional supplement.
Moreover, our initiative focuses on enhancing the social capacities of beneficiaries, fostering empowerment, self-efficacy, aspiration, and overall well-being. By empowering individuals to access and utilize available nutrition services effectively, we strive to improve nutritional outcomes across Madhya Pradesh.

Anaemia, a prevalent nutritional disorder, is primarily caused by iron deficiency. Moringa leaves (Sehjan Ki Patiya) are abundant in iron and other essential nutrients crucial for iron metabolism. In collaboration with our community mobilizers, local women cultivate Moringa leaves near their homes after receiving awareness sessions.
The impact of incorporating Moringa leaves into the diet was evident in the decline of moderate and severe anaemia rates among intervention communities in Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh. Increasing the quantity and frequency of Moringa supplementation led to a significant reduction in anaemia cases, thereby offering a complementary solution to address anaemia effectively.

We prioritize the nurturing and empowerment of our Suposhan Sakhis and Nutrition Champions through compassion and unity. This approach not only strengthens our connection with the community but also underscores our commitment to making a positive impact in the world around us. Across all nine Britannia Industries Factory locations, we have established volunteering opportunities for our employees to actively engage and contribute at the grassroots level.
Our volunteering initiatives encompass a diverse range of activities aimed at demonstrating care and fostering trust within the communities we serve. These include assisting in the establishment of organic Poshan Vatikas by school students and tribal communities, participating in school wall painting projects, creating and distributing nutritious seed balls for farming, conducting educational sessions, conducting household visits at the community level, organizing recreational activities with children, and promoting the health benefits of yoga for holistic human development and well-being.

The construction of toilets in schools not only enhances attendance rates but also significantly contributes to overall sanitation improvements. Recognizing this vital need, a government school has enlisted the support of Britannia Nutrition Foundation to enhance sanitation infrastructure through corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
Beyond the mere provision of toilet facilities, our efforts focus on imparting comprehensive health and hygiene education to garner community support. Additionally, we provide managerial and technical training on sanitation delivery to school leadership, teachers, and parents, empowering them to advocate for themselves with urban local bodies and municipalities. This approach ensures the effective maintenance and sustainability of school sanitation facilities.
Our initiative aims to raise awareness about the importance of a clean and sanitized environment within school premises, foster behavioral change among students towards good hygiene practices, and disseminate knowledge on sanitation principles.
