Undernutrition in pregnant mothers is a serious problem in tribal areas. This leads to poor weight gain during pregnancy and low birth weight babies. The average weight gain of a pregnant mother is found to be 5.5 kg in this area, whereas the expected weight gain in a pregnant mother is 10-12 Kg. 58% of babies born are low birth weight (<2.5 kg) and 5% very low birth weight (<1.5 kg).
The causes for the poor weight gain during pregnancy is undernutrition and extensive physical work in the fields coupled with poor food intake. Mostly, food intake is only twice a day, with hardly any protein components. Poverty, lack of transportation and communication modes makes it difficult for pregnant mothers to access the much-needed healthcare. This makes it necessary for our organisation to reach out to them.
Swasthya Swaraj works to improve the nutritional status and weight gain during pregnancy of pregnant mothers, by providing them good nutritional support and nutrition education along with antenatal care, in Kalahandi, Odisha. The means of our process is as follows; -
