  • Why it can’t wait
  • How CRY is filling the gaps
  • The truth about undernourishment
It’s time to win over malnutrition

In the Gudisahi hamlet in Orissa where we work, young Aroti Nayak suffered from severe malnutrition. Her father, a daily-wage labourer, struggled to provide his family of six with two square meals. The nearest aanganwadi was just one kilometre away, but between them flowed a river that swelled to epic proportions thanks to monsoons, creating an obstacle between the children of the village and their health.

When CRY along with our partner, INDIA*, began to monitor the health of the children in the area, Aroti’s symptoms of malnourishment were detected. Working closely with the local aanganwadi we immediately registered her under the CDPO**. They ensured regular interventions and today she receives nutritional supplementary food, and her growth is being regularly monitored to ensure a healthy future for her.

Aroti’s life could be changed because of the timely detection of her condition. But for many other children, malnutrition is a silent killer. Because by the time the symptoms are visible, it has already advanced to a critical stage. Constant monitoring of local aanganwadis and Public Healthcare Centres (PHCs) helps identify cases of malnutrition at an earlier stage and save many children.

With your help, we can ensure the functioning of the aanganwadis and PHCs and give children their right to a healthy, wholesome life. There is not a more crucial time to donate.

With proper pre-natal care, adequate food and timely health check ups, a pregnant woman stays fit and gives birth a healthy child. Without it she transfers her ill-health to her unborn child, and sets off a cycle of malnourishment.



Lack of healthcare during the first two years of a child’s life can contribute to a lifetime of ill health. Timely polio drops, immunisation and monitored development, are crucial to preventing malnourishment.



It is not enough to feed hunger. Without essential micronutrients like iodine, iron and vitamins thousands of children suffer brain damage, night blindness, rickets, anaemia and even heart failure.



Some families just don't earn enough to feed their children and keep them healthy. They cannot afford healthcare and don't get the supplements they are entitled to. Children are the worst sufferers and they become disease-prone.



CRY - Child Rights and You is an Indian NGO working for every child’s right to a childhood - to live, learn, grow and play. In over 30 years, along with partners we have worked with communities and parents to make lasting change in more than 20 lakh underprivileged children’s lives.
