With the current pandemic, the condition has become worse for everyone and basic necessities have become nothing less than a luxury. Everyone has been trying their best but instead of giving a short term solution, Jacqueline has adopted the villages like her own and plans to ensure that they always have smiles and never suffer due to hunger. There will be various group sessions conducted that will be focused on nutrition. Women will also be guided on how to take care of the children after their birth, children under the age of 6 will be screened with MUAC tapes for malnutrition.

Seven frontline workers will be given training and on the job assistance. Along with this, even kitchen gardens will be grown in the village. All of this will be done ensuring all the safety guidelines are followed and no one suffers or dies due to starvation or lack of nutrition.
