Recipients receive monthly monitoring and mental health support talks. Additionally, they contribute to the community by volunteering for the foundation in various needed areas.
The nutritionist collaborates closely with the doctor to conduct nutritional assessments and assist children facing nutritional deficiencies. This includes monitoring their physical development, focusing on weight and height, and offering specialized care at our private clinic to ensure parental comfort.
This concerted effort aims to facilitate weight regain and promote healthier growth among children within the center. Furthermore, the nutritionist takes charge of evaluating cafeteria menus for both staff and children, designing specific menus that encompass all essential nutrients necessary for optimal nutrition. This proactive approach ensures that both workers and children receive the dietary support required for improved well-being.
Our program entails offering an annual scholarship to workers who seek assistance for their children's education expenses. The amount awarded varies based on the academic performance of each child, ranging from $500.00 to $1,000.00 corresponding to their grade level.
