Health & Nutrition

10 million children under the age of five die every year, mostly from preventable illnesses

700,000 children die from measles every year, due to a lack of immunisation. Living in unhygienic conditions with little food and no clean water, millions of people are prone to malnutrition and ill health

Islamic Relief's work in health and nutrition includes:

  • Mother and child health care programmes
  • Construction and rehabilitation of medical clinics
  • Distribution of medical equipment and ambulances to hospitals
  • Farming programmes to improve agriculture and food security
  • School food for malnourished children
  • Immunisation and health check-ups
  • Physical&psychological care programmes for traumatised victims of war
  • Raising health and dietary awareness in poor communities
  • Therapeutic feeding centres

Case Study: Niger Food Crisis

During the food crisis in 2005, Islamic Relief established a health and the rapeutic feeding
centre in Tillaberi region to provide health and nutritional support to thousands of children suffering from severe malnutrition.

Now that the crisis is over the centre also offers medical care for children suffering from a range of health problems.
"There is a big difference between before we had Islamic Relief support and now. Even as Head of the Centre , if a malnutrition case came in I panicked because I did not have means, knowledge and practice. Thanks to this training and the support and equipment from Islamic Relief, this centre is now better equipped than the national hospital in Niamey.£
