They are healthy after receiving support from a malnutrition prevention and treatment project run by World Vision and World Food Programme. “My children are healthy now after eating the special cereal they have received from the nutrition centre,” says Monira, 25. She and her children are among the 700,000 Rohingya people who fled into neighbouring Bangladesh to escape violence in Rakhine State, Myanmar in August 2017. “Previously Kaiser and Jisma got sick frequently because I could not feed them enough nutritious food.” It is challenging to keep children healthy in the camps. Refugees have no income and cannot afford to buy fish, meat and vegetables for their families. “There’s no place in the camp where I can grow vegetables and raise chickens like I used to at home in my village in Myanmar,” says Monira. “We had land there. We planted vegetables, grew rice and had a few chickens.” To address the malnutrition of refugees, World Vision, in partnership with the World Food Programme, operated nutrition centres in three camps from May 2018. All children under age 5 received Blanket Supplementary Feeding, as well as pregnant and lactating women (PLW). Children and PLW screened as having acute moderate malnutrition received additional supplementary food and monitoring. Over the past eight months, the nutrition centre has served 15,972 children. A total of 1,226 children out of 2,902 children suffering from moderate acute malnutrition have been cured. Most of the remaining children continue to be treated for MAM, and are progressing well. Some 2,067 pregnant and lactating women also benefitted by supplementary food.
