Treatment and Awareness help Women Overcome Anemia
“I feel so tired and weak always. I am unable to do any work neither at home nor in the farm,” said 22-year-old Ganita Komra of Masulpani village in Narharpur administrative block of Uttar Bastar Kanker district. “I am told it is because I have only 7 grams of hemoglobin in my blood.” Currently families ignore related health problems unless it becomes very severe.
Lalima is a project that aims to address a key indicator of malnourishment i.e. anemia. The objective is to bring about awareness among women and adolescents (14-49 years) around anemia which is very severe in the district and to immediately cure severely anemic women and girls.
