health and nutrition: the health and nutrition sector includes programs in community health and nutrition, primary and clinical health & nutrition, hiv/aids, wash, and maternal and child health. Specific activities within these programs are tailored to the different clusters. In the developing countries cluster, many programs flow from the integral mission approach, actively engaging churches in implementation. Health and nutrition activities may be carried out through care groups and are often integrated with other programs such as agriculture and savings. In care groups, health workers and volunteers are instructed on key health topics and behaviors, such as infant and young child feeding practices, healthy birth spacing, and hygiene. They reach their neighbors with these lessons and refer mothers and children to health clinic services as needed. Hiv/aids prevention and support is woven into many of our health and family strengthening programs, providing education for youth and adults and support for people living with hiv/aids and their families. Primary and clinical health and nutrition programs are typical in the humanitarian and disaster response cluster. Wr manages and supports local health clinics, working with ministries of health, in several areas facing political or environmental disasters. Emergency and supplemental nutrition may be provided to treat malnourished women and children. Many countries in this cluster combine water and sanitation hygiene (wash), nutrition, agriculture, and food security activities.
