Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

It is important to note here that:
1 in 3 of the worlds malnourished children live in India,
In 2015 maternal deaths in India stood at 45,000 or 15% such deaths across the world, and India registered 1 million under-5 deaths in 2016, highest in the world.
Sukarya has been working extensively in health and nutrition for the past two decades and has served around 5 million women and children in around 600 villages and 90 slums in Delhi, Haryana, and Rajasthan. Its focus is especially on addressing malnutrition among the most vulnerable sections of society. Even after 70 years of independence, the prevalence of undernutrition, stunting, wasting, and micro-nutrient deficiencies like anemia, vitamin A deficiency is very high, which is a major concern for India.
Sukarya has been a regular participant of the ADHM since its inception. This platform has consistently provided us the opportunity to raise funds and contribute towards the cause. This is the 10th edition of ADHM, and Sukarya is excited to be part of it to attain all of the support from individuals and corporations so that it can extend and sustain its service delivery towards women and children in need.
Help Sukarya to fight anemia and malnutrition among women and children and to promote adolescent reproductive and sexual health. To create a fund-raising page please visit https://lnkd.in/f2i26k9.
