A non-profit organisation, Health Emergency Initiative and Spectranet Limited have forged a partnership to address child malnutrition at its root, providing vital support to those in need.
Health Emergency Initiative in a statement on Thursday said Spectranet Limited donated a sum of 1.1 million naira to support the project.
It said those who were assisted include 46 mothers and their 50 children in three primary healthcare centres named: PHC Akerele, PHC Ejire and Maternal & Child Care, Randle Hospital in the Surulere Local Government Area in Lagos State, who were acutely malnourished, transforming their lives with love, care, and access to ready to use therapeutic food items.

Their dedication to creating positive change aligns perfectly with our vision of a world where every child has the opportunity to thrive.
