What We Need In the past two years, after conducting a community health profile in the region, a pediatric nutritionist stated that the children are physically retarded and need vitamin A. They need to eat fruits. The project started a project selling a bag containing a washed banana, an orange and a carrot to the children of Stabl Antar and Ezbet Khairallah for nominal fee. In the meantime, the Project recruited three women, in need of increasing their income, in different areas to increase the scope of the coverage of the fruit selling project. In addition, the Project aims to raise nutritional awareness of the children by convincing them to consume more nutritious food instead of buying quick junk food snacks e.g. salted crackers. Unfortunately, the project stopped a month ago due to lack of funds. The selling price of fruit proved to be lower than the buying costs; as there should be a profit margin for the fruit sellers. Hence the project is calling upon all those who want to donate money for feeding the poor, to support the children feeding project by immediately contacting the Project. Urgently needed The comprehensive health profile undertaken by SAD Project has unveiled serious health problems. The study identified recurrent foot amputation incidents due to the late diabetes diagnosis. Moreover, the study found numerous incidents of partial paralysis attributed to the undiagnosed hypertension cases. Tragic incidents could have been evaded by just raising the health, environmental and social awareness of the inhabitants of SAEK. Moreover, the community is in need of a regular health check ups to prevent the aggravation of health problems that can be put under medical control.
