Hope for Children Conducts Malnutrition Screening in Itahari Diocese

The Hope for Children Center in the Itahari Diocese of Nepal recently organized a free malnutrition screening for children aged 5 and under in Ward No. 3, covering the Sunaulo Tole and Adarsh Tole areas. The event was held with the approval of the Sub-Metropolitan authority and Ward No. 3 administration.

The primary goal of the screening was to assess whether any children in the area are facing malnutrition issues and to offer guidance to parents on how to maintain a nutritious and balanced diet for their children. By providing this vital support, the Hope for Children Center aimed to ensure that the health of young children in these communities remains a priority.

The screening was held at the Health Center of Ward No. 3, where 39 children were examined. According to Health Assistant Mrs. Deepa Prasai, who recorded the screening data, none of the children showed signs of malnutrition. The parents expressed their gratitude towards the Hope for Children Center team for their proactive efforts in caring for the well-being of their children and raising awareness about the importance of proper nutrition.
