A Journey to Recovery: SuPoshan’s Community-Based Interventions Helped an Undernourished Child Thrive   In the crowded slum of Durga Chowk in Haldia Municipality, a SuPoshan Sangini encountered a two-year-old during a focus group discussion with local women. Noticing that the child looked pale, weak, and irritable, SuPoshan Sagini conducted an anthropometric assessment. His height (100 cm), weight (11 kg), and MUAC (12.3 cm) indicated severe undernutrition.   Initially, the child’s mother was hesitant to seek help at the Nutrition Rehabilitation Centre (NRC). Instead of pushing, SuPoshan Sangini began counseling the mother on age-appropriate, nutritious foods that could be easily prepared at home using local ingredients. Her family counseling sessions empowered the mother with child-feeding skills and proper care practices. She also encouraged them to attend a 12-day Sneh Shivir, a nutrition camp organized by the SuPoshan Sangini, where she observed the child gained 150 grams. However, the child’s weight remained unstable, prompting SuPoshan Sangini to involve the entire family. This led to the child’s eventual admission to the NRC. After 21 days of specialized care, including treatment for liver complications, the child gained 520 grams and improved from SAM to MAM status.   To support the child’s continued recovery, SuPoshan Sangini helped the family establish a rooftop kitchen garden, ensuring access to fresh vegetables. She also provided a WASH kit and taught the family hygiene practices to address recurring health issues. With regular follow-ups and support from the local Anganwadi centre, the child’s weight improved to 13.5 kg within six months.   Reflecting on the journey, the mother shared her gratitude: “Thanks to Sangini’s support, my child is healthy today.”   This story underscores the importance of community-based interventions in combating child malnutrition through personalized care and practical, sustainable solutions.   Kavita Sardana, Vivek Yadav, Adani Foundation , Bhomik Shah, Shraddha U.

On September 26, 2024, over 60 employees from the CSRBOX group participated in an enlightening "Employee Well-Being Initiative" focused on anemia awareness and healthy eating habits. The session was expertly facilitated by renowned dietician Ms. Sweta Patel, who guided participants through the critical aspects of anemia, emphasizing the importance of iron-rich foods in combating this condition. Ms. Patel engaged attendees in a dynamic discussion about the deworming process and the significance of maintaining a balanced diet alongside regular exercise to counteract the effects of a sedentary lifestyle. The interactive nature of the session fostered meaningful dialogue, allowing employees to explore common food-related myths and misconceptions. For instance, participants learned that enjoying tea with breakfast is detrimental and discovered the nutritional nuances of popular dishes like palak paneer. This initiative not only equipped employees with valuable knowledge about nutrition but also inspired them to make informed dietary choices. As a testament to their commitment to healthier living, the employees of CSRBOX group pledged to embrace a lifestyle characterized by regular exercise and mindful eating.
