Gates Foundation to provide iodized salt in flood-ravaged Nepal and Bangladesh |
| Posted by Administrator (admin) on [PUBL_DATE] |
In Bangladesh, Save the Children is working to mitigate the negative affects of flood on the lives of children and their families by distributing water purification tablets and installing hand wells; distributing food packages containing dry food, biscuits, cereals, iodized salt and sugar — as well as supplementary food for children under 3 years old to prevent acute malnutrition; and supplying shelter materials. In addition, the agency will provide recreation kits so that children in affected areas can engage in age-suitable activities in safe spaces. Save the Children plans to reach 82,000 flood-affected households, with priority given to children and families living in hard-to-reach areas; children without parents; the elderly and people with disabilities; and pregnant and lactating mothers.
