HEALTH RELATED PROJECT

Nutrition Program to Chepang in Dhusa VDC, Syadul, Dhading District

Objectives of Program

  • To access the knowledge of Nutrition to the mothers.
  • To empower the mothers how to make nutritious food for the children.
  • To supply the nutritious food to the pregnant mother
  • To supply the nutritious food to the children (Infants to the age of 6).

The district is behind in health status compared to the national level. Although the health indicators are significantly improving over the years, the district is still behind in some of the key indicators. The child mortality rate (CMR) is 101.7/1000 and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is 91.8/1000 and average life expectancy is only 49.5 years. The health status of the marginalized communities is much worse than the average district situation. Occurrence of preventable and communicable diseases like skin diseases, diarrhea, gastritis and intestinal worms, typhoid and ear infection among the top ten diseases reflects poor health situation of people in the district. Mainly, the Chepang children are suffering from Malnutrition due to the lack of proper knowledge of nutrition and hygienic environment maintenance for the children. They are suffering from the following diseases. Malnutrition affects people of every age, although infants, children, and adolescents may suffer the most because many nutrients are critical for normal growth and development. Older people may develop malnutrition because aging, illness, and other factors can lead to a poor appetite, so they may not eat enough.

Malnutrition is well recognized as a widespread health problem with consequences that are both acute and, even more often, long-term. Both acute and underlying effects contribute to mortality, either directly or indirectly (through weakened defenses against other diseases such as malaria, respiratory, or diarrheal diseases). However, the long-term effects, especially from nutritional deficits early in life, on children who don't die, but have their development impaired, may exceed even the troubling mortality. Malnutrition harms both the body and the mind. The more malnourished someone is in other words, the more nutrients that are missing the more likely he or she is to have problems.

The health service situation of Nepal is not accessible to all the Nepalese community. So, different NGOs and health service provider are providing the health service to these communities. Likewise, HOMES, Nepal has been conducting the many health and medical camps in different rural areas of Nepal. More than 3000 poor people were already benefited due to these activities.And this time HOMES-Nepal plan to go Terai region to expand the service at terai also.
