Nurse me: milk powder for malnourished kids, Benin
Story
This project wants to cope with the widespread issue of child malnutrition in the regions of Zou and Atacora (Benin), through the supply of milk powder to undernourished newborns in the Hospital of Tanguieta and in three local accommodation centres.
Impact
The project's main goals are to promote children's right to life and health and to avoid newborns' premature death caused by malnutrition and undernourishment. The beneficiaries are orphans and babies whose mothers cannot breastfeed, mainly because affected by HIV.
Challenge
In the regions of Zou and Atacora, child death rate is extremely high and newborns are often underweight. Breastfeeding without blood ties is not contemplated in Benin's culture and AIDS is a widespread disease. All these factors lead to malnutrition, which causes even more deceases among children.
