Healthy development for children due to a balanced diet
Climatic conditions are difficult and lead to famines regularly every two years. A great part of the population depends on agriculture and livestock breeding. The situation regarding food, especially for women and children, is dissatisfying. Malnourishment is widespread and has become a problem of public health.
Goal of the project is to find solutions for this problem by applying innovative methods and involving the local population. The project, which is mainly aimed at women and children, runs in six villages, where food centres have been opened. Women of those villages, who have been trained in the field of nutrition, carry out awareness campaigns and inform the population of the causes of malnourishment and its prevention. Mothers get information regarding a balanced diet, hygiene and the most important diseases when bringing their children for checking their weight. Malnourished children are taken over by the centre or brought to hospital to get treated.
