ANMF begun to focus on the most affected population which includes postpartum mothers, under one year children and unprivileged populations including Dalit communities as well as the utmost remote earthquake affected areas. We supplied Postpartum packs including Gowns/Maxi for mothers or pregnant women, Baby cloth set (Bhoto set) for children, sarbottam powder and satu powder for the supplementation of nutrients for mother and the baby, peanuts, beans, Oral Rehydration solution(ORS), mosquito nets, towel, baby soaps, baby powder and sanitary pads. Around 250 Postpartum mothers, pregnant mothers and children from different earthquake affected areas were supplied with these postpartum packs.
Besides the earthquake affected areas, we received an urgent request from the Khopling, Taplejung which was highly affected by landslide, post earthquake disaster, where 200 people including 15 postpartum mothers were residing with no shelter, no food and polluted water. The postpartum mothers and the children of Khopling were very happy to receive those packs which will help them sustain for a while.
The hygiene pack including soaps, chlorinated tablets, towels, nail cutters, toothbrush, and toothpaste were distributed in the remote villages and temporary settlement areas especially in the Dalit communities which was then followed by public health awareness program. |
