In the area of mental health, 117 direct psychosocial support sessions were delivered using recognized assessment tools, alongside child-friendly art-based psychosocial activities.
Community health awareness outcomes were also significant. Nutritional knowledge among participating women increased by 45–65%, leading to observable positive changes in family nutrition practices. Through three nutritional Training of Trainers workshops, 80 Sudanese women were trained, who later led 13 community follow-up sessions, extending the project’s reach to an additional 187 indirect beneficiaries.
