Nimal

nimalNimal came into our unit last Thursday with severe malnutrition, normally we would need to keep him in the unit for 3 to 4 weeks.

He was discharged home on Monday with a weeks supply of eezee paste. Every week we will monitor his weight. normal recovery time is 5 to 6 weeks. One days supply of this food will cost 30 cents. We are one of the first charities in India to be using this. This will change every thing.

Meet this wonder food for malnutrition called eezee paste, It is a peanut, milk powder and sugar – ready to eat food. It has been the standard treatment for malnutrition in Africa for over 10 years. The Indian goverment are only now allowing for its use.

We Need Your Help

Yesterday, the 28th of Feb, we had to refuse to admit a critically ill woman, simply because we had no money ourselves for the treatment. This is the unfortunate reality that we are dealing with. What we do is directly related to how much we are given. We currently owe €7000 for medicine. We have come to an agreement with our medicine suppliers that our credit facility has been removed, but they will give us medicine for cash. Your money will buy their medicine for our children, who come to us asking for nothing more than a little bit of fairness. Can you spare €5? If 80 people could have spared €5 we could have saved this ladys life. If 5000 of you could spare €5 our whole project would be funded for a year.
