Jan. 12 – The target group is 5,000 malnurished children under the age of 5 living Mali; the COOPI campaign, launched on the occasion of its 50th anniversary, will take place in 31 health areas in the district of Segou. The funds will deliver timely medical care, prevention activities and raise awareness of good practices to contain the malnutrition cases and take on those cases in which recovery is still possible. The humanitarian organization wants to give a community approach to the project, through the continued presence in the villages of 1,120 representatives who will promptly report cases of malnutrition to the health centers and promote good nutritional practices and sanitation among families. COOPI also intends to carry out rehabilitation at health centers and distribution of hygiene kits (soap, container and products for water purification) among mothers to avoid relapses. COOPI’s fundraising sms campaign to the number 45509 continues until January 24.
