Nurse me: let's defeat child malnutrition in Benin

Dear Donor,

As announced in the previous report, at the end of May our Country Manager Antonio Carettoni with the President of Aleimar Sergio Sali, the Head of the Project Office of Aleimar Ilaria Ventura and the Volunteer and Counselor Daria De Siero came back to Benin for the periodic monitoring trip.

This eleven-day journey has been the opportunity to visit all our project in the Country and to tie stronger relationships with our local representatives on the field that work every day in favor of all the children supported also thanks to your help. With your donations and with the support of other private donors we have been able to raise 5.900 Euros (5853 USD) that allowed us to buy and deliver 14 kg of powder milk and 200 homogenized.

We have delivered all the milk to the centers that support malnourished children in Atakora and to the Hospital of Tanguieta. These are the words of Daria’s diary that describe the moment of the first delivery of milk: “we have delivered the first boxes of milk and the small mouths of the children hosted in the center became covered by white moustaches. The big eyes of G. have conquered the heart of everyone of us while he was taking his first steps”.

Despite we have reached some of our important goals, our activities never stop! Our local representatives that work in the field have reported that nowadays the price of staple food and milk is always higher due to the economic consequences of the pandemics and to current international tensions. They call this “the crises of corn” and always more people and children suffer from malnutrition.

Thanks to your support we can give a concrete contribution to the population!

Thank you!
