300 Children. One Chance to Reach Them.
In rural Sindh, a child's chances in life are largely decided before they turn five.
Their father works someone else's land for a daily wage that barely covers one meal. Their mother stretches whatever is available across a household of six, seven, eight. There is no buffer, no savings, no safety net. When a child starts falling behind, there is rarely anyone nearby to notice in time.
Sindh has the highest rate of child wasting in Pakistan where nearly one in four children under the age of five is dangerously underweight. These are not children in a faraway crisis. They are in villages a few hours from Karachi, in districts that appear on no news ticker, tended to by no one.
Government health facilities in rural areas are few, frequently unstaffed, and without basic medicines. The nearest functional clinic may be hours away with no public transport. Even if a mother gets there, every consultation and follow-up costs money a daily-wage family simply does not have. So she waits. And the window to intervene closes.
The solution is proven and ready.
Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF), recommended by the WHO, reliably reverses acute malnutrition in 6 to 8 weeks. A complete treatment course which includes nutrition packs, medical screening, medicines, and follow-up visits costs just $52 per child at a SHINE Humanity Pakistan clinic.
- $52 treats 1 child
- $260 treats 5 children
- $520 treats 10 children
Our goal is $15,600 to reach all 300 children. Every dollar goes directly to treatment.
These families are not asking for much, only that a sick child can be made well.
