Vacha Trust

Girls who are not affected by practices of female foeticide and infanticide are prone to receiving lower nutritional intake and inadequate support for health. Vacha's nutritional support programme provides special nutritious food items, iron and nutritional supplements to the children suffering from anemia. This helps in improving their hemoglobin and Body Mass Index (BMI) levels. A change in daily diet with introduction and increase in intake of iron rich food such as soya milk, dates, bananas, rajgira and jaggery laddus is facilitated through this programme. Your donations will help us provide nutritious food thrice in a week as well as special nutrition’s food once in a week for all adolescent girls in all our 15 centres located in slums in Mumbai and Thane districts. Some of the items included in the nutritional kit are fruits, Soya milk, dates, chana and singdana, chikki, sprouts, vegetable paratha’s, occasionally dry fruits etc. We are in need of Rs. 13,26,000 to cover the nutritional cost of 450 children for one year. You can support this initiative fully, or in part.
