Where we are standing:
What we have planned: to develop advance kitchen to cook meals for more & food delivery system at same time to reduce cost with assurance of on time servings and delivery to beneficiaries (Undernourished mothers & childs)
Problem brief: A third of women of reproductive age in India are undernourished, with a body mass index (BMI) of less than 18.5 kg/m2. It is well known that an undernourished mother inevitably gives birth to an undernourished baby, perpetuating an intergenerational cycle of under nutrition.
Undernourished girls have a greater likelihood of becoming undernourished mothers who in turn have a greater chance of giving birth to low birth weight babies, perpetuating an intergenerational cycle, this cycle can be compounded further in young mothers, especially adolescent girls who begin childbearing before they have grown and developed enough. When mothers take only short intervals between pregnancies and have many children, this can exacerbate nutrition deficits, which are then passed on to their children.
The above is resulting as major health problem affecting mothers and children in India;
Malnutrition Affect :
- 1. Pregnant and lactating women and children are particularly vulnerable to malnutrition
- 2. Malnutrition during pregnancy can result in complications like :
- >> Maternal depletion
- >> Anaemia
- >> Post-partum hemorrhage
- >> Toxemia of pregnancy
- >> low birth weight in baby
Critical periods of life when a child is most vulnerable to malnutrition :-
1. Intra-uterine period :- Children born with adequate birth weight have lower mortality even under poor environmental conditions
2. Weaning period :- Severe malnutrition coincides with the usual age of weaning malnourished children are not only more susceptible to infections severity of illness due to the infection is more among the malnourished children as compared to the well nourished
Our Program outlay:
Annapurna project have straight approach in implementing smart work approach, we have already completed development of a complete advance kitchen to cook meals with all preventive standard and mechanism to achieve 100% purity and nutrition with 0% wastage and usage of organic food materials. The kitchen can be extended in future to expand cooking facility for 5000 meals at the same time. Bhojanshala (Canteen) with capacity to accommodate 250 people at a time is also constructed which will provide hygienic environment to eat with peace and on table volunteer service.
Supplementary Feeding Programs (SFP vans) Mobile van food: We will be extending service to needy at their place. We would like to facilitate to the women and children have difficulty to reach at our bhojanshala. We would like to make sure that not even one bite remains unutilized, we will surely use IOT enabled technology to make sure about the daily beneficiary.
The Annapurna program will include health and nutrition experts on volunteer and visit basis to make sure that the objective is maintaining its way to achieve good health for beneficiary; we would invite Medical practitioner, Asha Behan, AYUSH health practitioners. We will also invite existing and make new Self Help Women Groups to execute, coordinate and assist in completing the servings on required basis.
