How your gift helps

In the remote province of Papua, Indonesia, many young children are undernourished and suffer from preventable diseases. But vulnerable children are enjoying revived health, through a health and nutrition program facilitated by Tearfund’s local partner, Yasera.

“My daughter was so skinny, I thought she was going to die,” shares one local mother. “Since Yasera’s training, my daughter has put on weight and I have learned about nutrition and how to properly care for her.”

By working closely with local churches in the area, Yasera has grown relationships and built trust with families. They now hold monthly weighing and immunisation sessions for under 5’s at risk of malnutrition, as well as home visits and community meetings where they facilitate nutrition lessons and cooking demonstrations. They’ve seen huge improvements in the health of young children, with rates of malnutrition dropping, a greater variety of nutritious foods eaten, and caregivers empowered and confident in helping their kids to thrive.
