Mayo Mwana Project (Cristina Fazzi):
-
Distribution of maize seeds and food for the fostered children (80 children who will be the beneficiaries of the programme are selected among the most undernourished, on a yearly basis, to be included in the programme).
-
The selected children’s mothers must collect the food for their children on the corresponding dates, signing upon collection or, if they cannot write, stamping their fingerprint.
-
At the end of the project, the doctor sends us lists of the children and their development. In the particular case at hand, 81.25 percent of them had gained weight, 12.5 percent had not gained any weight but their general condition had improved greatly, and only 6.25 percent had lost weight, usually because of other diseases (malaria in most cases).
