Report Summary
In 2012, Burkina Faso is likely to be affected by a dramatic famine (peak foreseen in the months between April and October 2012). The famine is due to several factors, the main cause being the draught which devastates crops and cattle.
The consequent nutritional crisis is going to worsen a chronically deficient nutritional situation. Such months of constant hunger, which might be endurable by adults, are certainly not endurable by infants who depend completely on their mothers, who are malnourished themselves.
Medicus Mundi Italy and the Spedali Civili Hospital in Brescia promote the Humanitarian Campaign "Nevereatalone" in order to prevent severe forms of malnutrition in the most fragile social groups, that is pregnant women and infants.
A further consideration. If the food situation in Burkina Faso has taken these dramatic negative signs, a campaign like this also assumes a humanitarian sense in our Western world, as it can become a vehicle for the understanding of values which are taken for granted in our society or are no longer considered as such. Reflecting on the value of the food we daily (and sometimes passively) assume, then becomes a training for nutritional education for adults and children which can not and should not be separated by the appeal of the Campaign "Nevereatalone".
In Burkina Faso, the project refers to dr. Gigi Pietra and Marina Martinetto.
