“Our feeding program in Korogocho slums is now doing amazingly well.
CONGRATULATIONS TO PRIME BANK!
A community health volunteer recently expressed concern about a young girl living
in Korogocho Slum who kept fainting from hunger during school. She has been
enrolled in our feeding program where she receives one nutritious meal per day.
According to the headmaster of the school, she improved dramatically within three
months. She is healthy, well and she is performing at the head of her class.”
“We see marked improvement in energy levels and wellness after a child has only
been on a feeding program for ten days. The children benefit greatly from our life-
saving feeding programs,” said Caroline. (CHV).
In the face of numerous health challenges around the world, there is a growing need
for comprehensive programs that address not only medical needs but also the socio-
economic well-being of individuals and communities. One such program making a
significant impact is the " Nutrition and Livelihood Program."
