Malnutrition is a chronic crisis in Niger. In partnership with the Croix-Rouge of Niger, the
Croix-Rouge of France has undertaken to
support the Zinder hospital's paediatric unit. Its mission: to develop an integrated treatment approach for acute malnutrition in children under 5. The Croix-Rouge of France aims to move beyond a system of emergency intervention to anchor medical treatment for malnutrition in the healthcare system itself.
Give now to support the Croix-Rouge in the Zinder district:
-
Improve free medical, nutritional and psychosocial treatment for children under the age of 5 within the district's existing health system and hospital.
-
Reinforce the treatment of acute malnutrition in communities by raising awareness and enlisting the involvement of locals.
-
Empower local municipalities and health authorities to take on increasing responsibility in the fight against malnutrition and the development of food security.
-
Improve access to water and medical equipment at Health Clinics.
