From 2017 to 2021 the Aga Khan Foundation, in collaboration with the Government of Tanzania, civil society partners and local communities and with the financial support of Global Affairs Canada, undertook a US$ 11.6 million project that reached about 1 million people and was dedicated to improving the health of women, adolescent girls and children, and reducing maternal and newborn mortality in eight underserved districts of Mwanza, Tanzania. 

In Mozambique, to address the major challenge of malnutrition, the Aga Khan Foundation works with rural families so that mothers can prepare their young children an enriched porridge that provides good nutrition and helps prevent a multitude of health issues.
