World Vision is addressing child health in Myanmar. Here’s one of the ways that children are benefiting:

PD/Hearth is a community-based rehabilitation and behaviour change intervention for families with underweight preschool children. The programme has 3 goals: 1. To reduce the prevalence of malnutrition among children under five years. 2. To build local capacity to treat malnourished children and sustain the rehabilitation of children. 3. To prevent future malnutrition among all children in the community.
