Nutrition Program

Nutrition Program

The first malnourished child we started to treat on this program was  Chanda, she 3 years old and weighed only 20 pounds.  Six months later, we checked her again and she had not gained a single pound.  She was developmentally behind, talking very little, lacking facial expressions and hardly ever playing with the other children.  We started her on fortified milk and vitamins daily.  After one month, Chanda’s facial expressions improved and we heard her talking for the first time.  After two months she was starting to play and have energy, she also gained one pound.  It is only one, but it is the first in hopefully many pounds she will gain before she becomes a healthy child. 

Now she is gaining 1-2 lbs per month and continuing to improve. 

We provide some fortified milk and a multivitamin every day to each child in the program.  The cost per child is only $10 per month.  When you choose to sponsor a child, you will be sent the child’s picture, history and other information.  Each month as we check the children and give out more milk, a report can be sent to you periodically.
