INMED is a registered in-country NGO of INMED Partnerships for Children, which has worked in Peru since the 1980s to build pathways for vulnerable children, families and communities to achieve well-being and self-reliance. With programs focused on maternal and child health and nutrition, climate-smart adaptive agriculture, and neglected tropical disease treatment and control, INMED Andes has transformed the lives of millions of Peruvians.

INMED’s mobilization of a multi-sector effort to eliminate intestinal parasitic worm infection (soil-transmitted helminths or STH, a leading cause of anemia and malnutrition in millions of children) has become a major component of Peru’s National Plan for the Reduction and Control of Maternal and Child Anemia and Chronic Child Malnutrition. INMED Andes also is facilitating the use of INMED Aquaponics^® to strengthen food security, income generation, and environmental protection

INMED has a successful track record of improving the health, nutrition, and socio-economic opportunities for vulnerable children and families in Brazil since 1993. INMED’s programs in Brazil are facilitated by in-country affiliate INMED Brasil. 

Through a variety of participatory education activities, INMED’s nutrition and healthy lifestyles programs have improved the lives of more than 2.5 million children and family members and have provided training for hundreds of thousands of teachers, cafeteria workers, and community health agents. INMED Brasil’s school-based programs are improving access to healthy food for preschool and primary school children by establishing school vegetable gardens and providing nutrition education and resources for children, parents, schools, and communities.

In addition, INMED Brasil is implementing INMED Aquaponics^® in distressed communities to improve food security, climate change adaptation, and income-generating opportunities via climate-smart agriculture and aquaponics, a symbiotic combination of soilless crop production and fish farming.

INMED has worked in Jamaica since 2002, focusing on improving the health, education, safety and opportunities of the nation’s most vulnerable children through climate-smart agriculture, school gardening, climate change adaptation, nutrition education, positive youth development and teacher training programs. With its in-country affiliate, INMED Caribbean, officially incorporated in 2010, INMED helps current and future farmers and their families adapt to climate change threats and become economically self-sufficient.

In partnership with multilateral investment banks and the Government of Jamaica, INMED is currently leading a four-year initiative to increase access to climate-smart agriculture. By providing access to financing, markets, training and technical assistance, INMED is helping small-scale farmers, women and youth start aquaponics enterprises in Jamaica to improve food security, income-generating opportunities and climate change adaptation.
