Providing Nutrition

If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one

Mother Teresa
We at Diya4kid recognize the critical importance of health and nutrition for human survival, particularly among children. Health and nutrition are both important parameters, extremely essential for human survival. Child hunger still remains a global problem.
Poverty, lack of healthcare education, and malnutrition prevail in India, making it home to a significant portion of the world’s malnourished children.

Freedom is meaningless if you cannot put food in their stomachs

Nelson Mandela

Studies have shown that poor nutrition is a significant contributor to poor health and can markedly reduce life expectancy, especially women and young girls being prone to be more likely impacted by this due to their reaction to malnourishment different to that of men.

Addressing this issue from the grassroots level is crucial, as it significantly impacts life expectancy and contributes to non-communicable diseases.

We at Diya4kids focus on women and girl’s health, and reaches out on individual level to inform, assist and provide the necessary information and nutrition through generous donors like you!

Statistics on Health and Nutrition

Addressing this from the grassroots level is crucial, as it significantly impacts life expectancy and contributes to non-communicable diseases. Recent surveys highlight a worsening trend in undernutrition among Indian children, especially in states like Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh. Despite the scale of the issue, impactful change can begin with individual care and contributions, improving the health and hope of these vulnerable young children.

Support

Access to basic necessities like clean water, healthcare, and sanitation remains a challenge for women and children in rural India.

Diya4kids actively works to address these challenges by:

  • Recognizing the pivotal role of support and donations in creating a healthier living environment for these communities
  • Providing waterworks and sanitation facilities in tribal schools and remote villages.

Statistics on Poverty

In India, nearly 1 million children die under the age of five, an estimated 39 deaths per 1,000 live births due to:

  • Unavailability of access to health services such as maternal and newborn coverage in rural areas
  • Lack of proper drinking water availability.
Recent studies reveal concerning health issues, including compromised immunity, high HIV infections among children, and a significant number of under-five deaths due to inadequate healthcare access.

Protect

We at Diya4kids actively are involved in training caregivers and organizing self-defense classes in Northern India, particularly for girls.

  • Protecting children from abuse and exploitation is imperative, yet a government survey revealed alarmingly high rates of abuse among Indian children.
  • Abusers are often from their closer circles, and the strict discipline at home and school can make children more vulnerable.
  • Empowering children with self-defense tactics becomes crucial, especially in rural areas where these issues may not be prioritized.
  • The cultural backdrop of male domination is a huge hindering factor for girls to come for these classes.

We at Diya4kids are dedicated to empowering these young girls with strength and self-protection skills. We believe our efforts will succeed as we make small strides in our journey of empowering these young girls to be strong, inside out!
