This project will help 150 pregnant women from the poorest sections of the society in Tamil Nadu-India, to have access to iron-rich, vitamin-rich fresh vegetables and fruits on a regular basis. By donating to this project you ensure adequate nutrition to those pregnant women and save them from the risk of gestational anemia, hypertension, miscarriages, fetal deaths during pregnancy, pre-term delivery, and maternal mortality. Your timely support = healthy babies and healthy mothers.
The pregnant women in our program hail from the poorest labor communities in the villages of Tamil Nadu, India and they belong to BPL (Below Poverty Line: less than $ 2 income per day per family) families. At present, there is no work for those families due to the COVID-19 crisis. They find it difficult to have iron & vitamin rich-nutritious food for themselves. They fear that lack of nutrition may lead to anemia, miscarriages, hypertension, fetal deaths during pregnancy, and maternal mortality.
We provide- through our mobile vegetable bank- those pregnant women with eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables like dates, pomegranate, apple, amla (gooseberry), greens, curry leaves, lemon, carrot, beetroot, drumstick etc., on a regular basis. We constantly keep a watch on their Hb (Hemoglobin) level, weight, and other vital indicators for a safe and healthy pregnancy. We ensure regular medical check-ups for them and motivate them to be fearless and happy during their pregnancy and delivery.
The project will ensure happy pregnancy and safe delivery to 150 poor pregnant women who will otherwise have been deprived of the same - due to their poor economic background. This project will also ensure 150 babies with the right birth weights, free from any mental and physical disorders. The significant long-term impact would be 150 healthy and productive children for this world
