Project Vatsalya
At SSV Foundation, we are committed to fighting malnutrition and ensuring that every child has access to healthy food. We regularly conduct campaigns where we distribute nutritious grains and pulses, and we visit homes in slums to make sure everyone has the resources they need to eat healthily.
In many of these slum areas, parents are often away at work, leaving children to rely on unhealthy packaged food. We strive to educate families about the benefits of affordable healthy food options, such as grains and pulses, to help them make better dietary choices.
To combat malnutrition effectively, we provide regular doctor consultations and essential medicines. Many children do not know what foods are healthy, leading to malnutrition. Our mission is to educate these children and their families about proper nutrition and ensure they adopt healthy eating habits.
Support US IN MAKING GUJARAT HEALTHY
Transforming malnourished children into healthy, well-nourished individuals is a continuous process. It’s not just about providing food once; we must ensure they receive proper medicine and medical consultations and monitor their progress to ensure they maintain good habits. This comprehensive approach costs around ₹15,000 per child.
Unfortunately, due to limited funding, we cannot reach as many children as we would like. We need your support to continue our fight against malnutrition. Together, we can help these children lead healthier lives and secure a brighter future.
