As the novel COVID19 pandemic is teaching its lessons, only individuals can say the type of lessons learned. But generally for many, the means of economic SUSTENANCE is badly hit. For many parents, daily menu is only targeted at filling the tummy, but not nourishing the body. Children meal is supposed to be nourishing and not a mere 'tummy filling'. A nourishing breakfast containing essential nutrients will supply a child with over 50% of daily nutrients requirement. It was a joyous moment for the children and their mothers who benefited from food packages containing a 5 days breakfast for each of the children, distributed by Oak Rural Health Organization as part of our efforts to help children maintain adequate nourishment and support mothers in providing for their children to cushion the effects of COVID19.
“ ......this package will help me for the week and enable me to use the money I should have spent on my child’s breakfast on other things”.... This is the testimony of Mrs A.O, who is a beneficiary. She further stated that it was such an unexpected but timely move by the Organization and therefore appeal for more of this kind gestures.
The Organization continues to plan and implement mothers and children focused programs like this. We hope to reach more and make more people happy. As low as $10 will create a resonating impact on these children in a time like this. Donate to feed these children, then we will help them develop strong immunity against diseases, as well maintaining growth that is proportionate with their age.
