Victory on malnutrition in Sankarapuram

Posted on Posted in Health, Uncategorized

A great victory was won at Sankarapuram, India, where the Humanium Association implemented a nutritional program in 2009 : today, all the children are at a normal weight!

When the nutritional program was debuted in the village, the majority of children had severe food deficiencies. Individualized monitoring was established, and each child was taken into care.

In daycares, the lunch is served with specialized nutritional supplements. The teachers and the mothers were trained in the nutritional principles and thus continue to monitor the food and the weight of these school children.

Today, the principles of balanced nutrition are equally applied by the mothers in their homes. It is a great victory in Sankarapuram, and now that the risks of malnutrition have been eradicated, it is the general state of children’s health that is improving.

Thank you to all who have supported the children of Sankarapuram.
