Maternal and Child Health Clinics

Dear Partner,

Wow, 2023 was incredible for our MCH program! Let me tell you about it:

• HopeCore dewormed 3,391 children - safeguarding them from intestinal parasites and promoting optimal growth.
• 6,677 children were fully immunized, protecting them from preventable diseases.
• And to make sure those little ones thrive, our CHPs (Community Health Promoters) monitored 227 infants using MUAC measurement (a simple arm circumference check, a crucial tool for quickly identifying malnourished or growth-stunted children), catching any potential growth issues early on.

And guess what? We administered 4128 doses of Vitamin A, which is a shield against infections and blindness. Thus, you’ve helped build stronger immune systems, sharper vision, and a brighter future for each of them. You also helped 410 mothers embark on the journey of motherhood with antenatal care - nurturing healthier pregnancies and safe deliveries. But the magic doesn't end there – our Office Clinic educated 386 caregivers on children's nutrition practices and 7975 parents were educated during the village-based maternal-child health clinics.

Your support made it all possible! Every bit you donated fueled our progress, and we can't thank you enough. Because of you, communities are healthier and babies are getting the best start in life.

So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you! Let's keep making a difference together in 2024!

Happy holidays and see you next year!

With immense gratitude,
