Childhood Malnutrition
Nov. 01, 2017
The mission of SAM India Project is “Building Awareness and Combating the Crisis of Severe Acute Malnutrition among Children in India.” SAM = Severe Acute Malnutrition. The photograph is from National Geographic http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/enlarge/malnourished-children.html India's Burden of Acute Malnutrition in Children
Malnutrition is India’s silent crisis. It has some of the highest rates of child malnutrition and mortality in under-fives in the world (twice that of sub-Saharan Africa). India has 132 million “under five children”. Of these 132 million children, it is expected that 9 million children, are suffering from severe acute malnutrition. This is almost 50 percent of children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) worldwide. Also, India has 57 million - or more than a third - of the world's 146 million undernourished children. (Source: National Family Health Survey-III, conducted during 2005-2006 in India). In India more than 5 million children die every year as a direct or indirect result of malnutrition. That translates into one child death every 10 seconds. (Source: 2008 Global Hunger Index Key Findings and Facts)

Sanctuary Kitchen
Nov. 15, 2017
Sanctuary Kitchen, a program of CitySeed in partnership with a network of community volunteers, was formed in 2017 to promote and celebrate the culinary traditions, cultures, and stories of refugees resettled in Connecticut. We believe that refugees and immigrants arrive here with the potential to contribute their own unique skills and passions to the diverse and changing face of the Greater New Haven Area. By going beyond the headlines and creating opportunities for meaningful encounters through food, Sanctuary Kitchen aims to create income generating opportunities for refugees, improve cultural understanding, mutual appreciation, and build a stronger sense of community.

Center for Development in Central America
Apr. 25, 2018
Nicaragua is the third poorest country in the Americas. In Nicaragua, we work with poor communities, helping them to improve people’s lives. The Center for Development in Central America (CDCA) is a project of the Jubilee House Community, Inc., (JHC), a non-profit organization. It has 501(c)(3) status in the U.S. and International Mission status in Nicaragua. Our goal is to work in partnership with communities and cooperatives to facilitate empowerment. This enables them to find their own solutions to the problems they identify and connects them with resources to solve their problems. Our job is not to tell others what to do, but to first listen to the needs and then respond as we are able. The CDCA’s mission is to enable communities to become self-sufficient, sustainable, democratic entities. |
