Nutrition at Niru Foundation

Proper nutrition is the cornerstone of recovery and growth, especially for children battling cancer. Treatments like chemotherapy and radiation often lead to appetite loss, nausea, and malnourishment, making it vital to provide tailored nutritional care. At Niru Foundation, we ensure that every child under our care receives the nourishment they need to regain strength and maintain energy throughout their treatment journey.

 

Whether staying at our centers or living elsewhere, we provide consistent monthly ration kits complete with essential food grains and supplements. For families residing at our centers, we offer individual gas stoves and groceries, respecting their diverse backgrounds and culinary preferences. For over three years, this dedicated support has helped empower these brave hearts to fight their battle with strength, resilience, and renewed hope.
