Severe acute malnutrition is a major cause of death in children under 5, and its prevention and treatment are critical to child survival and development. It is characterized.
When we first me Siya, she was suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition and we found that her weight at birth was just 1.3 Kgs.
Siya became a part of our Nutrition project in Roha, Raigad Supported By
Sudarshan Chemicals and the CSR cell where we adopted 6 Anganwadis
centers to improve the nutrition status of children.
The children were given a different Micronutrient Fortified Ladoo each
day, these are Ragi, Soya, and Wheat. Each Ladoo has an average energy of
245 Kcals and provides about 5.3 gms of protein to the child.
We were glad to note that Siya has shown improvement and is not
suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition Anymore. In me we expect her
to move on to becoming a completely Normal and Happy Child.
