‘Dharti’: Follow up on children’s welfare project at Bhattedadha


The ‘Dharti’ initiative has been actively involved on the children’s welfare project at Bhattedadha. Based on our previous blog update on 2nd June’15 we are now focused on the welfare of malnourished children, Dewan Tamang and Aashiqa Lama. The detailed health monitoring and update of the two children are compiled below:

  1. Dewan Tamang :

After the doctor’s follow up check up on July 13th 2015, it was recorded that the 1 year old baby has now gained weight from 5kg to 5.6 Kg within a month. The doctor told Dewan is growing well now and he is prescribed to continue the protein droplets for 2 more months which was given earlier and also one medicine is added for stomach clean and to digest well.

After the doctor’s follow up check up on July 13th 2015, it was recorded that this 3 years and 3 months old baby has now gained weight from 5.6 Kg to 6.8 Kgs. The pediatrician at the Dhulikhel hospital updated her nutrition chart and added added one more glass of milk, more ghee, sugar and potato in the routine diet for weight gain.
