In
poverty-stricken communities, children are in
constant danger. Contaminated water, poor sanitation
and unhygienic food preparation expose them to
parasites, deadly diseases, skin infections and
stomach problems. Nutrition is also another major
issue as approximately 90% of the children in the
communities where we operate do not get enough to
eat and what meals they do have are often deficient
of essential nutrients.
As a result of their poor living situation, many of
the children we work with are malnourished and in
poor health.
Donations to our Healthcare and Nutrition Program
allow us the ability to help provide:
-
Routine medical checkups
-
Treatment for illnesses and injuries
-
Medications

Dental checkups
-
Anti-parasite and worm treatments
-
Regular vitamins and food supplements
-
Malnutrition screening and treatments
Good
nutrition and health is essential for proper
development, an active mind and strong immunity. We
organize regular health and nutrition education
programs for our children and their families to
provide them with the tools for improving their
wellbeing. With proper education and care, children
and their families can live a happy, healthy life
and have a better chance of overcoming poverty to
become productive members of society.
