Dear Donor,
in the Country our activities are going on without a break. The Covid situation, in terms of cases and deaths, seems not to be worsened except from some local closures. It is always difficult to have reliable data about the health situation in some rural villages; in general, the World Health Organization reports 26.610 confirmed cases and 163 deaths since January 2020 till May 2022. Unfortunately, it is always clearer that Covid-19 has become widespread in addition to many other illnesses that affect the population of the Country.
In particular, according to the World Food Program, 9.6% of the households are food insecure and 32% of the children under 5 in the Country suffer from chronic malnutrition. Aleimar and its local partners are always working in order to support the population of the regions of Zou and Atacora to cope with malnutrition.
At the end of this month we will finally come back to Benin, in particular to the Hospital of Tanguieta and in three reception centers that we support; there we will deliver milk powder and baby food for the newborns and children hosted and nursed. We can do all this thanks to your help and if you want to be part of this journey, keep on supporting Aleimar and all the children assisted by the project!
Thank you
