With an increasing move towards outpatient therapeutic feeding for moderately and severely malnourished children, the home environment has become an increasingly important factor in achieving good program outcomes.Infections, including those water-borne, may significantly delay weight gain in a therapeutic feeding program.This study examined the relationship between adequacy of water supply and children’s length of stay in a therapeutic feeding program in Niger.
