Supported by IDEALS, a comprehensive survey was conducted at Bedadi village, Mansehra district, KPK in 2008. We identified a number of children with significant health problems, including severe malnutrition, anaemia and visual impairment. Subsequently all these children were assessed and investigated by child health and eye specialists in nearby Mansehra city, receiving drug treatment and corrective glasses as needed. We also supported a three month supplementary feeding programme for the most underweight children at Bedadi, in conjunction with a series of health and hygiene workshops for all Bedadi families (to raise awareness of good feeding practices and reduce the risk of diarrhoeal and related illnesses): this was hugely successful, resulting in a significant reduction in the global malnutrition rate within the village.
