Dear Friend,
Three year old Manish lives in the rural area of Jhadol in South Rajasthan and is enrolled in the Balwadi (day care centre) run by Seva Mandir. He has been ill for a long time, which makes his attendance at the Balwadi irregular.
Recognising his condition, the Balwadi supervisor identified him as malnourished and enrolled him in Seva Mandir's community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programme. Manish's weight was only 7.5 kg when he joined the treatment programme. During the camp, he received the essential medicines and Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) he needed for his recovery. His mother was also counselled on medication and home-based child care practices.
As a result of timely identification and treatment, his condition improved and he gained 3.1 kg in one month. He is now out of danger and regularly attends the Balwadi, where he is much more active and energetic and enjoys playing with the other children.
Thank you for supporting initiatives that are making a real difference in saving lives and improving the wellbeing of children in the tribal areas of Rajasthan.
We are pleased to announce that we are participating in GlobalGiving's April 2024 Little by Little campaign. During the campaign from 8 to 12 April, all eligible donations up to $50 will be matched at 50%. This will make every donation count and help us reach even more children in need.
For example, $10 can treat one malnourished child and $50 can provide therapeutic food for three severely malnourished children. We hope you'll consider extending your generous support once again.
Yours sincerely,
Ronak Shah
Chief Executive
