All children deserve a healthy childhood, but there are many in our country who do not get adequate nutrition, timely immunizations, and proper healthcare. As a result, they often suffer from recurring diseases, stunted growth and in extreme cases, even face death. 

Maharashtra has a high rate of malnourishment, with nearly half of all deaths in children under 5 caused by undernourishment. The problem is particularly severe in rural areas, where socio-economic challenges exacerbate the issue. To address this, United Way Mumbai’s Project Poshan works towards making villages and communities malnutrition free. In partnership with the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) the project is implemented in Karjat, Raigad district.

Join me on this journey to help undernourished children fight malnutrition. With your assistance we can provide medical care and nutrition support to these children. Thereby ensuring holistic development.
