Hilfe für Kinder in Indien
In keiner Region weltweit sterben so viele Kinder in ihrem ersten Lebensjahr wie in den Distrikten Umaria, Panna, Satna und Rewa im indischen Bundesstaat Madhya Pradesh. Die Hauptursache liegt in der schlechten Nahrungs- und Gesundheitsversorgung von Adivasis und Dalits, den Marginalisierten und Ausgegrenzten der indischen Gesellschaft. Terre des hommes unterstützt die Bevölkerung, dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der Förderung von Frauen und Kinder in den Bereichen Ernährung und Gesundheit.
