Please help us end child malnutrition for more infants today!🙏

 

Dear Friend, With the success of the Infant Malnutrition Intervention (Bal Balwaan Mission), Gabriel Project Mumbai has been approached by child health services and tribal community leaders to expand its nutrition program to additional infants diagnosed with Severe and Moderate Acute Malnutrition in the rural tribal communities.

This World Health Organization standard diagnosis effects the cognitive development and overall health of a child when they need it the most - the first 6 years of their life. We have had some impressive treatment successes and that is why we have been asked to expand to additional village clusters. With positive results over the last 12 months, GPM will increase its nutritional outreach to thousands of families and has undertaken to increase the number of children in its care from 900 to 1,800! We feel that this is a vital expansion of our core work, giving a sustainably holistic and effective malnutrition regimen to children truly suffering with the effects of severe malnutrition. In the last 12 months over 900 children have been treated for Severe Acute Malnutrition, 75% moving out of the danger zone of severely malnourished.

We ask you, our dear supporters to please help us provide nutrition to more infants in need. Our goal is to expand services to an additional 20 villages and 1800 children -an additional 900 children! The 4-month treatment period costs $45 per child and includes daily nutritious food, sessions with mothers on nutrition and hygiene, medical checkups, multi-vitamins and fresh drinking water for the entire family. Our budget will increase from $40,500 to our new goal of $81,000 in 2023. You can read about the scope of the malnutrition program HERE and our success results HERE. Please help us in this amazing endeavor to change the health-trajectory of hundreds of children at the start of their lives!
