Support My Campaign
Tata Mumbai Marathon 2024
Dear friend, I appeal to you to support me to help 698 malnourished children in Kolhapur district. According to a survey conducted by Zilla Parishad, Kolhapur in 2016 there are 6857 children with Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) and 1189 with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in 12 tehsils of Kolhapur Dt. Out of these 1129 children, 698 are from Karveer (116), Hatkanangale (185), Shirol (244), and Gadhinglaj (153) who are less than six years old. Sangli Mission Society piloted a program called UMMID to support these children and their family to come out of malnutrition. At present we are supporting 200 children in Karveer and Hatkanangale tehsils and we find it difficult to reach other children due to financial constraints. We provide the children with cereals and pulses together with protein powder. Through this program we wish to bring the children out of malnourishment and help them to become healthy citizens.
