When eight year old Caleb showed up at Turning Point's Children's Centre in Kianda, his stomach was riddled with worms, his swollen belly gave it away. The World Health Organisation says that these worms can have a significant negative impact on a child's health and development. But luckily, treatment is simple and affordable. This is why Turning Point regularly deworms all the children accessing our food programme as well as teaching kids about good hygiene and providing clean drinking water.
In time, Caleb's health improved greatly as he benefitted from the deworming tablets and the regular healthy meals. Today, Caleb is a happy and healthy boy. Full of energy and always excited about a game of football.
By supporting Turning Point's Feeding Programme you will help to ensure that 100 children with similar stories to Caleb will receive not only daily breakfast and lunch but also regular deworming and teaching about hygiene. Please consider what you can give to ensure this vital programme continues. Thank you for your support.
