ACCESS TO SUPPLEMENTARY NUTRITION TO SEVERE ACUTE MALNUTRITION(SAM) AND MODERATE ACUTE MALNOURISHED(MAM) CHILDREN

BUDS doctors diagnose several cases of severe acute malnutrition(SAM) and moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) during the primary healthcare camps in MHV. The families of these children are extremely poor; they cannot afford high-calorie and protein supplements. In order to improve the health and nutrition of these vulnerable malnourished children, the BUDS team will distribute a high-calorie and high-protein food supplement called “Nutrimix,” which has been developed and tested in the marginalized communities by the Child in Need Institute (CINI) organization (www.cincomm.in).

Nutrimix is a 100% organic cereal, pulse-based product along with milk solids, fortified with specially designed vitamins and minerals. It is a calorie and protein-dense food supplement consisting of superior quality protein, fat, and carbohydrates making it an ideal nutritional support for SAM and MAM cases. It will also serve as an enriched source of essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin B-Complex, Zinc, Selenium, and Copper

Nutrition Program at Drop-in-Center (DIC)

Since 2012, the mid-day meal (MDM) programme offers wholesome freshly cooked lunch to street children, mainly rag pickers and child labourers. Food is prepared in the BUDS center’s kitchen in a clean and safe space, where all sanitary measures are respected, and taught to children. All children wash their hands with soap before eating, while cooks and helpers wear protective gear when cooking and serving food. Safe drinking water is available for children.

Get Involved DONATE

On special occasions such as public holidays or birthdays, “festive meals” are prepared and different types of food like sweets, halwa, kheer, local dishes, raita, juice are made available to children. BUDS would like to thank all donors, and especially Mr. R.C. Mody, Dr. Shalini Bansal and Dr. Meera Prakash who made it possible for children to truly embrace these special events. Every day with the Mid-Day Meal program, at least 569 children are served a hot cooked meal
