Provide nutritional care to needy pregnant women

In India, one maternal death is reported every 10 minutes, putting the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) at 212 per one lakh live births. This becomes a greater concern among disadvantaged women from marginalised communities, such as Musahars who were historically marginalised, discriminated against, and placed at the bottom of the social hierarchy.

This project aims to educate women from the Musahar community about the importance of a nutritional diet during pregnancy and the lactating period. We are running the project in various areas of Arwal district, Bihar. Free medical check-ups are also arranged for all women in the region so that any woman running the risk of nutritional deficiency can be helped accordingly.

In addition, special awareness programmes are arranged where we teach women low-cost nutritional practices and what food needs to be included in their daily diet to protect their health.

This programme aims to affect the 800 pregnant and lactating women in the Arwal region.

For as little as Rs. 800, you can offer a pregnant or lactating mother a nutritional diet and create awareness on looking after their health.
