There are thousands of children in our work area who suffer from malnutrition in absence of care and nutrition. Pragati Bharat has been running Nutrition support for 200 Malnourish children to provide care and support to such children.
It is due to generous support from Global Giving has been able to run this program. Thank you so much for your trust in us.
Mahak was one of the Molnourished child.Nine months ago, when Mahak joined us, she was severely malnourished. She belongs to ST family of village Arjunkhiriya block Madawara Since, both her parents Jayanti (Mahak’s mother) and Manoj (Mahak’s father) had to go out to work, she was often left neglected at home without care and nutrition required for her normal growth. Our team visited her home and got her enrolled. She diagnosed with malnutrition during health check-up and was referred to start treatment for malnutrition and provided her supplementary nutrition for three months and also provided sanitation kit in an increased of 2 kilograms of weight in the next three months.
Additionally, parents were made aware about the benefits of cleanliness by counseling sessions and informed them various ways on how to keep the child away from unhygienic conditions, so that the child can stay healthy. After this, our team took follow-up of child. After contacting the child's parents, it was revealed that the child is completely healthy now.
