In celebration of #HumanRightsDay, We Highlight Aminodin’s Mother in the Invisible Monster film as Everyone Else, Strive to Provide Food for their Children.

/0 Comments/in , /by

In The Invisible Monster film, we see how parents like Aminodin’s mother strive to make ends meet in order to provide food for the children. She and her family, like everyone else, have the right to adequate food as this is a fundamental human right and not a privilege.

This is why we constantly combat food insecurity and malnutrition in the communities where we work. We provide nutrition sensitization programs, livelihood cash assistance and trainings among many others. With your support, we can help more families fight hunger.

In celebration of #HumanRightsDay, raise awareness and stand up for human rights.

A Common Tool Used to Determine If a Child is Malnourished

/0 Comments/in , /by
A MUAC or “Mid-Upper Arm Circumference” tape is one common tool that we use to determine if a child is malnourished.
 
As the world’s hunger specialist, we are working in remote areas to provide children assistance that are focused on their nutrition and health. But aside from this, we also enlighten their families on their roles in ensuring the health of their children, and educating them on the many external factors that can cause malnutrition.
 
Together, we can reach more families with our nutrition and health programs.

Maximizing Efforts to Ensure Coverage of the Immediate Needs of Vulnerable Families

/0 Comments/in , /by

Around 13.4 million Filipino families considered themselves poor, resulting to the highest self-rated poverty recorded in the last five years according to the 2019 SWS Survey. As poverty has direct effects to food insecurity, the hunger crisis in the Philippines is expected to worsen because of the pandemic.

Now more than ever, we are maximizing our efforts to ensure coverage of the immediate needs of vulnerable families that do not have access to food. With your help, we can provide more food packs, cash distributions, and livelihood support or cash-for-work programs for the communities we are working with.

The Risk of COVID-19 to Undernourished People, Young Children, and Elders

/0 Comments/in , /by

Undernourished people, especially young children, who contract COVID-19 could be at greater risk. While elderly people are deemed most at risk of COVID-19, the virus attacks the lungs, which is especially alarming for undernourished children whose risk of mortality increases 15-fold if they develop pneumonia.

To counter this, we need to support health facilities in their fight against the pandemic. In addition to this, we are working hard in maintaining the continuity of our maternal and child health programs.

You can help us strengthen and expand our activities focused on child malnutrition, support for women and psychosocial support.

In fact, even before the pandemic, those residing in congested dwellings in informal settlements, transitory sites, and evacuation areas were already facing problems with inadequate water, poor sanitation and waste management, and limited access to health care facilities. Now, these vulnerable areas are more prone to widespread virus infection.
