In 2018 over 1300 children under 5 years of age died in India everyday due to malnutrition!

Malnutrition and related complications resulted in over 5 lakh child deaths in India in 2018. If not fatal, malnutrition results in irreversible damages impairing a child's mental and physical development. Often such children fall behind in school performance and unfortunately have fewer livelihood opportunities as adults, resulting in reduced earnings.

Fortunately, this can be prevented.
Malnutrition can be prevented by working with pregnant women to ensure that children are born healthy. Good nutrition, sanitation practices, medical monitoring and counseling helps them undergo healthy and safe delivery.  For children already affected, early detection and treatment of malnutrition can prevent irreversible damages and help them grow healthy and strong.

Help us defeat malnutrition!
We work in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan in close to 600 villages. We screen children for signs of malnutrition and help in getting malnourished children treated. We also work with mothers and families to improve their knowledge on nutrition, hygiene and child care. We support pregnant mothers to have a healthy pregnancy and give birth to healthy children. 
Screening a child for signs of malnutrition.

With your help, we can reach out to more people. While Rs. 5000 helps a malnourished child recover completely, Rs. 1000 helps us conduct multiple discussion sessions with 10 pregnant women on nutrition, sanitation and health.

We call for your generous donations to reach 70 malnourished children and provide them treatment and work with 500 pregnant mothers to ensure they have a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
