Centre Marembo as a home for young girls and teen mothers with their babies, we have to provide them with special needs in terms of nutrition and health and wellbeing care. Within these three months, we could buy some nappies for the babies whose mothers are the survivors of rape and other types of violence they encountered before joining rehabilitation program at our centre.
Everyone knows how critical diapers are to the well-being of a baby. Babies generally need to have their diapers changed many times per day. Without consistent diaper changes, babies run the risk of infections, diaper rash and other significant health problems, and that’s one of the basic needs and babies and toddlers need for their perfect health conditions.
We recall you that our priority is to affect a positive and effective change to the lives of the young girls whose background has been marked by the bitterness of the street life lot of traumatic issues and situations. Some of them are continually struggling with the aftermath of that background, some being teen or pre-teen mothers. The work of Centre Marembo does not only consist of meeting the victims’ needs but also extended to transformative approaches and care for their descendants.
Apart from nappies for babies, we could provide teen mothers and young girls with health problems with special diet to unable quick recovery and in post-operation care for those who have complications during and after delivery.
As usual, we kept on working on health education. We weighed in on nutrition to help the mothers keep their babies safe from malnutrition and stunting after reintegration in the community and family. Most the children we receive have problem in nutrition because of lacking of proper food and nutritional skills. So we worked hard to raise this awareness not only to our children but also the rest of surrounding communities whom we work together during community outreach program.
