Integrated Strategies To Address Malnutrition in the IP Communities (ISAMIP)

Picture

Background
​

The Aetas, indigenous mountain people of the Philippines, are the most disadvantaged social
group in the country. Geographic location, nomadic
 lifestyle, lower educational and health
literacy creates barriers leading to
inequity in healthcare services, nutrition, and sanitation
resulting in severe
 malnutrition and ongoing intestinal parasitism. These factors have been
approached by schools, non-profits, Local Government Unit, Department of Health, and 
Department of Education in the Philippines
 without measurable improvement.

This project aims to improve the nutritional status and cognitive performance of malnourished
school-age children of the IP communities
by providing Manna Packs (fortified mixture of rice,
​soybean protein, dried vegetables), along with
 health education in hygiene, sanitation and
eradication of parasites (with the
 help of the local health units).


                                                       
Project


We have partnered with selected schools, Floridablanca (Camachile Elementary School and
Nabuclod Integrated School) and Porac (Villa Maria Integrated School) in providing quality food
for the malnourished students
. There is high rates of malnutrition in the selected students: 24
for Camachile (4 Severely Wasted, 20 Wasted), 150 for Nabuclod (68 Severely Wasted, 82
Wasted) and 20 Villa Maria (7 Severely Wasted, 13 Wasted).

                                                                 
How Can You Help?


We are in need of donations of quality food (produce like fruits & vegetables; sources of protein;
rice) to continue providing regular meals for the children.

You can also help by donating financially, 1 USD can feed 2 meals to a child.  

You can help in providing for alternative sources of fortified food like Manna Packs (which is less than
​25 cents per pack; each pack is equal to 6 servings).  


Thank you for your support!
