Project Doaba Vikas Evam Utthan Samiti (DVEUS)
About the project
Project DVEUS is working in 60 villages of Kaushambi district. The organization is working with 11,800 households with majority reference communities from Dalit and minorities groups. The status of antenatal care and postnatal care remains very poor in the community. Lack of awareness in the community results in home deliveries, lack of immunization of pregnant women and infants as well as rising number of malnourished children in the community.
Making a Difference
CRY America Project DVEUS ensures that the community and the household are aware of appropriate child rearing practices. The project works towards reduction in infant deaths including neonatal deaths through strengthening home-based new-born care as well as improving facility-based care and treatment in government institutions. Another major focus is on. combating malnutrition through strengthening responsive strategy at community level.
The key activities under the project are engaging with adolescent girls and children’s groups on nutrition, menstrual hygiene and immunization, tracking of low-birth-weight babies as well as support of take-home ration to the pregnant and lactating mothers and children of age 7 months to 6 years from Anganwadi.
