Wellies
In order to monitor the health of young children at risk of acute malnutrition, local health workers from St Luke's Hospital Ethiopia are required to travel to remote villages during the rainy season to conduct home visits. A good pair of wellies will make all the difference.

210 Bowls of Stew
Children at the Therapeutic Feeding Centre are given a daily bowl of stew as part of a three part stabilisation programme. The stew is sometimes made up of beetroot and potatoes or local beans and grains, providing a high protein nutritional supplement which they take for 2 weeks. The NOURISH project also trains parents on better cooking methods for family nutrition.

A Bicycle
In order to monitor the health of young children at risk of acute malnutrition, local health workers from St Luke's Hospital Ethiopia are required to travel to remote villages to conduct home visits; a bicycle makes a huge difference allowing them to treat more children.

Fifty Hospital Admissions
Children with severe acute malnutrition are extremely ill and require urgent medical care. Each month over 50 children are admitted to the Therapeutic Feeding Centre with malnutrition and depend on the centre to help them survive. Your present will pay for the medicine, food and nursing care of the children for one week.

One year's Salary for a Nurse
Many children admitted to the Therapeutic Feeding Centre are extremely ill and require 24 hour intensive care. Providing experienced nurses to attend to these children is vital to saving their lives and helping them recover. Your present will pay for a nurse salary for one year at St Luke's Hospital Ethiopia.

A Well
Water borne diseases are one of the most common illnesses which are found in the admission of children within the NOURISH Programme. As well as nutritional education, the NOURISH Programme plans to install 12 wells within the region in phase one of the project.
