Trust For Malnutrion And Stunted Growth
Description: Your Support Brings Rays Of Hope To Pakistan's Future. Join Hands In Empowering Children Against Malnutrition And Stunted Growth In Pakistan.
Children of any age can be malnourished, but most children who suffer from both severe and acute malnutrition are between 6 months to 5 years of age. Malnourishment is diagnosed by measuring the middle upper arm circumference (MUAC). The tape is colored red for severe malnutrition, yellow for moderate malnutrition and green for normal.
This is a vulnerable period in a child’s life because in about the sixth month breast milk no longer adequately provides all the needed nutrition for a child. The mother therefore needs to add other nutritious food to the diet. It is important after the sixth month that the child receives proper diet and nutrients to develop, sustain and grow up as a healthy child.
A trust called “Trust for Malnutrition and Stunted Growth” (TMSG) was registered in Karachi in November 2018. The key sponsor is the Rotary Club of St. Catharines South in Canada, which is providing financial support along with other Rotary Clubs in North America, and the Rotary Club of Karachi as the host club in Pakistan
