On July 31st, 2023, the Rotary Club of Kakarvitta organized a Nutrition Program as part of its Maternal Health & Child Care Focus Area initiative. The program, tailored specifically for children under 5 years old residing in Mechinagar Municipality Ward No. 5, was held at Bal Kalyan Secondary School in Mechinagar-5, Jhapa. This significant event was made possible through the generous collaboration with Mechi Provincial Hospital’s Nutrition Department.
More than 50 children actively participated in the program, each receiving an SD Score identity card. These cards serve as a valuable resource for accessing further support and treatment through Mechi Provincial Hospital’s Nutrition Department. Alongside the distribution of SD Score identity cards, nutritious foods and fruits were provided to the children, ensuring their immediate nutritional needs were addressed.
Moreover, parents attending the event received essential guidance on preparing wholesome and nutritious meals for their children at home. By empowering parents with knowledge and resources, the Rotary Club of Kakarvitta aims to foster long-term improvements in child nutrition and well-being within the community.
This Nutrition Program exemplifies the Rotary Club’s commitment to promoting the health and welfare of mothers and children, underscoring its dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of vulnerable populations.
