Malnutrition Combating Program

Lack of food causes malnutrition in the human body. It happens when the intake of nutrients or energy too high, too low, and poorly balanced. Under nutrition can lead to delayed growth, while a diet that provides too much food, but not necessarily balanced, leads to obesity. Poor diet may lead to a lack of vitamins, minerals and other essential substances. Malnutrition during childhood can lead not only to long term health problems but also to educational challenges and limited work opportunities in the future.

Pregnant women, lactating mother and children are the target beneficiaries of the program. The organization distributed child food among the poor families who have malnourished child. Webinar and awareness camp were also organized with the poor mothers and their aged children in rural areas to sensitize them about the dreadful consequences of malnourished children.
