Healthy Kids
The Healthy Kids project is a life-saving initiative under JIRA Angels Network, aimed at promoting the holistic health and well-being of vulnerable children—especially abandoned newborns who often arrive in fragile physical and emotional states.
Purpose and Focus:
Many of these children are rescued from dire conditions, including exposure to the elements, malnourishment, and untreated medical conditions. The Healthy Kids program ensures that each child receives comprehensive health care to support recovery and growth.
Key Services Offered:
- Medical Check-Ups and Treatment:
- Immediate medical assessments upon arrival.
- Regular pediatric check-ups to monitor growth and address emerging health concerns.
- Treatment for infections, birth complications, or congenital conditions.
- Nutritional Support:
- Age-appropriate, balanced meals tailored to support physical development.
- Specialized nutrition for underweight or malnourished infants.
- Access to formula, vitamins, and supplements as needed.
- Mental Health and Emotional Wellness:
- Infant bonding and attachment therapy with trained caregivers.
- Safe, nurturing environments to promote emotional healing.
- Early stimulation activities to support cognitive and social development.
- Vaccination and Preventive Care:
- Full immunization schedules to protect against common childhood illnesses.
- Health education sessions for caregivers on hygiene, sanitation, and infection control.
- Referrals and Partnerships:
- Collaborations with local hospitals, clinics, and health practitioners for specialized care.
- Emergency referrals for surgeries or advanced treatment.
Why It Matters:
Children who are abandoned or rescued in infancy are particularly vulnerable to health risks that, if left unaddressed, can affect them for life. Healthy Kids is not just a healthcare program—it is a lifeline. By ensuring these children receive immediate and long-term health care, we give them a real chance at life, dignity, and a brighter future.
