130 group members were given access to credit for income-generating activities such as vegetable cultivation, small trade, handicrafts and poultry-raising. Through these income-generating projects, the group members have succeeded to increase their income and thus, have access to high-nutritional food. Once they receive the credit, the group members are cultivating vegetables to then sell in the local market. They also cultivate for family consumption to reduce the nutritional deficiency that exists in their household.
SATU hired a Medical Assistant to provide medical support to 130 pregnant mothers and 130 children to improve their health condition. The Medical Assistant checks the health of the pregnant women and their children regularly, recording height, weight etc. to assess their nutritional status. A total of 65 mothers gave birth in the local government hospital without any complication. 9 mothers had complications but were given proper care and recovered well. The Medical Assistant has provided support to children with cases of diarrhea, dysentery, worms, malnutrition, fever, and measles.
