They are malnourished .

Dealing daily with many cases of malnourished kids and Women .Malnutrition in children under five years is one of the top ten causes of morbidity and mortality.Very poor social safety net and virtually no health insurance.
The child population is one of the most
important   sections  of   society which being
vulnerable needs very careful nurturance. Their
growth and development is strong reflection on
the future of a country. In any development effort,
the starting point should be children for several
physiological, social and even economic reasons.
A wise investment in children’s health, nutrition
and education is the foundation stone for all
national development. Neglecting children’s
needs will by contrast condemn them and their
society to a vicious cycle of poverty and
deprivation (UNICEF 1991). A healthy generation
of children will lead to a healthy generation of
productive young people and adult.
<pre>Food security is achieved when a person has
access to enough food to lead an active and
healthy life. It is thus a prime determinant of a
child’s nutritional status. A report (International
Food Policy Research Institute 2005), finds
national food availability to be a very important
factor in reducing child malnutrition rates in the
past, being responsible for roughly a quarter of
the reduction over 1970–95. However, it also finds
that the strength of the impact of food availability
depends on how high food supplies per person
are. In countries with very low food supplies, such
as those in Sub-Saharan Africa and South-Asia,
national food availability is as important as
improving women’s education. But in countries
where food supplies are relatively high, such as
many countries in East Asia, the Near East and
North Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean,
they are not as important a determinant of child
malnutrition.</pre>

<pre>for great attention. Many factors which can help
in improving the nutritional status are like small
family norms, avenues for employment, safe
drinking water, a clean environment, appropriate
farm and food policies including prices, subsidies
and land reforms, knowledge about sound feeding
practices and eating habits, time to time monitoring of child growth, management of primary health
services, reduction in the workload of women,
