Annet was born last year in January, her mother is a single mother, she doesnt know the where a bouts of the husband as he abandoned them at home due to financial constraints, she struggles to make a living with her five malnourished children, they fall sick most of the time, she can not balance their diet nor can she afford money for hospital, two years ago, she lost a child to malnutrition, this year, she was losing her last born had it not been for the support we offered the family.
When you look at Annets back, you may think its of a very old person, her face is wrinkled, her arms are tiny and has brown hair.
Malnutrition is one of the number one killers in Africa as children 0-59 months do not have enough nutrients to help them grow. We realised that one of the needs of the communities is carrying out sensitizations among mothers to give information on care for children 0-59 months and provision of some food for starters. Most parents serve children with cassava and water for lunch and supper, yet cassava has only carbohydrates as a food value.
This training aimed at targetting mothers will improve on the feeding of children and adults in the community where we work.
Will you save 50 children today from dying of malnutrition?
