To fulfill her needs is to have a comfy bed, clean water, and healthy; clean food to eat. These items could a big difference in her life. Starting with you.
In Kathmandu there are a lot below standard shelter for families. Most families would sleep on the ground. So does our child, Netu. So, we think that a bed is one of her needs. A bed is a important for her because without a comfortable bed, there would be less of a chance for a good nights sleep. Also, sleeping on a floor can attract bugs that can bite and stick on to your skin. They could very likely carry diseases or a sickness. Especially since she lives in plastic shack which, probably carries many bugs. Sleeping on the floor can also bend your spine in a way it is not supposed to if slept in the wrong position. This is why we think that one of our child’s needs is a bed.
Net is also in need of clean water to bathe in and drink. Without clean water to bathe in she can’t maintain good hygiene and health. It can also cause infections in the immune system. She also needs clean drinking water, and if she drinks polluted water, then she is likely to get ill and is prone to get a certain type of cancer. Leukemia.
One of our child’s needs is also clean and healthy food. This is important because a child like Netu needs good nutrition to keep her body growing and strong. It is also important because the human body can only live without food for about 28 days. Maybe even less for a child. As a result, she could die without food in a matter of those days. With food they could be focused about getting their life on a food start like school, for example. This is why we think that this is one of Netu’s needs in her life.
