Help Us Provide Nutritious Food to Vulnerable Kids

The COVID-19 pandemic that has spread rapidly and extensively around the world since late 2019 has had profound implications for food security and nutrition.Already, before the outbreak of the pandemic, according to the latest State of Food Security and Nutrition report, some two billion people faced food insecurity at the moderate or severe level. Today, I will share with you the story of Eleonora, one of those two billion people, who cannot afford food for them and their families.

Eleonora is a mother of four. The youngest child, Stilyan, is only 3 months old. Eleonora and her husband are from a very small village in the Northern part of the country. The man is working in adairy farmwithout an employment contract, receiving a minimum salary, Eleonora is at home taking care of their four kids. Without being good in math, we can easily do the calculation and see that such a small amount of money couldn’t be enough for a family of 6.

Unfortunately, her story is rather common then exception. And the worst part is that this story doesn’t get any better. Because of the poor conditions the family is living in, the baby gets COVID-19 and is currently in the hospital. To help, Eleonora, we sent her, packs of infant formula that will be enough for a month, together with a lot of hygiene products and diapers.

This story shows the importance of implementing projects like this one that can react in such urgent situations. Because in the short term, poor nutrition can contribute to stress and tiredness, but over time, it can lead to some serious health problems.

Eleonora, her son and the many others like them need your support, so please don’t let them down. We know there are so many good charities that will seek your help and you should know how honored we are when you choose to make a gift to our cause.

Thank you!

Dear Friends,

You probably remember our last report when we share with you the exciting news of providing food to 118 pregnant women, teenage moms and their babies. By teaching the moms how to prepare nutritious food for them and their babies with a limited budget, the products lasted for a whole month.

As you can imagine, providing food for so many families in need is very challenging and expensive. And although we want to organize such campigns every month, we keep our expectations realistic. Our goal would be to organize one more campaign by the end of the year. 

In September, GlobalGiving is giving us a great chance by matching your donations starting from 09:00:00 ET on Monday, September 13, 2021, to 23:59:59 ET on Friday, September 17, 2021. Donations up to $50 per unique donor per organization will be matched at 50% for the entire five-day campaign. So please support us so we can continue providing food for both mother and baby.

These are uncertain times, and we especially appreciate your generosity and continuous support. Please continue to be our biggest supporters – donate, advocate, share. It means the world to us, the moms and the babies

Stay safe,

Olya
