MADAD
· ABOUT
The main objective of this project is to
provide essential food items and medicines specifically to pregnant women. We
prioritize the provision of nutritious meals, in the form of Khichdi, to
designated hospitals. This is crucial for the well-being of both the expectant
mother and her developing baby. On a daily basis, we distribute 100 servings of
Khichdi, ensuring that pregnant women receive the vital nutrients they need
for a healthy and strong start for their newborns.
This
initiative embodies deep empathy. It goes beyond providing a mere meal; it's
about delivering nutritious Khichdi meals and vital medicines with utmost
compassion to the women who need it most. Our goal: To tackle hunger, alleviate
poverty, combat malnutrition, and take the forefront in promoting preventive
healthcare.
SDGs
The Madad
Project aligns with several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), demonstrating its commitment to addressing global challenges and
fostering positive change. Here are the goals that project Madad contributes to:
Project Sector
Currently, "We distribute Khichdi to
around 90 – 100 female patients in the hospital on a daily basis.". This
initiative aims to ensure that our female patients receive nutritious and
easily digestible meals during their stay, contributing to their recovery and
well-being. We are committed to promoting the health and welfare of our
patients through this thoughtful provision of food."
Why the Project?
This
project is multifaceted, which involves distribution of Food, Medicines,
creating awareness on hygiene.
· Food
security exists when all people have physical and economic access to
sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs for an
active and healthy life. Malnutrition is constantly posing as a leading risk
factor for child death, emphasizing maternal nutrition during pregnancy.
· Financially underprivileged patients, mothers and child both are suffering from
malnutrition. When someone from a poor family gets hospitalized in a government
hospital then the attendants too, in lack of money, could not eat proper food.
· The intent of the project is Creating
awareness and counselling on menstrual hygiene, educating the people regarding
family planning.
· Distribution
of Sanitary pads for maintaining menstrual hygiene. Feed such poor and needy
people who are in need of nutritious food.
Why Khichdi?
Keeping in mind the health of the patients and as advised by the
doctors, Khichdi serves as complete food. It’s light and easily digestible,
which is the best food for a recovering patient. Khichdi regulates the
digestion process and is very nutritious food.

Implementation/ Execution
In the initial phase of
the project Food distribution in form of nutritious Khichdi will be taken up.
Khichdi will be served to the identified government & charitable hospitals.
· The
Khichdi will be distributed to the needy with the help of NGO named Roopaantar
to the identified government hospital.
Future Roadmap
· In
coming future, we will plan to distribute the essential medicines to the needy
and poor.
· Employees
from our organisation will also do the counselling to the women on menstrual
hygiene. This will also include a drive to distribute the Sanitary pads to the
women and spreading awareness on menstrual hygiene.
· The
identified group of women will be counselled to make them aware of precautions,
food, medicines, as prescribed by a doctor and habits during their pregnancy on
monthly basis.
· The
above campaign will be run on known places, as identified by the NGO Roopaantar
where pregnant women will come for their routine health checkup.
Your
support means a world of difference to the women and children in hospitals who
rely on our project for nutritious meals.
Together, we're building healthier futures for both mothers and their
precious little ones.
