Intergovernmental Institution for the Use of Micro-Algae Spirulina Against Malnutrition

IIMSAM invited Parents/Guardians of its school children to participate in an elaborate informative meeting to convey information on the roadmap for the IIMSAM school. The hosted meeting formed a platform to help explain the long hatched good intentions and forecast oriented ideals of IIMSAM in benefiting mostly the health and educational needs of the neglected needy children so that they can live and enjoy a food secure and poverty free hence a more fulfilling life. The congregants were informed of the IIMSAM Sheikh Zayed Spirulina Feeding Center Kisumu Kenya’s elaborate plans intended to help identify with the needy children and put the same children on a Spirulina feeding and educational program as above to prepare them for a better future. The education program is one sure way of making certain that all children on the Spirulina feeding program go through the complete Spirulina
feeding circle so that it is with certainty that they are devoid of malnutrition a global menace. The future plans upon the availability of fiscal resources as included:

1. A sustainable Spirulina feeding program to all IIMSAM school children and deserving adults

2. Expansion of the all-inclusive and nondiscriminative IIMSAM education program which corporates and includes children with special needs who deserve special care

3. To aim to achieve an annual school attendance rating of zero sick off record for the IIMSAM school children as a result of the achieved abundant health benefits from feeding on Spirulina super food

4. To be the leading humanitarian institution of excellence, transparency, and accountability.

Spirulina Distribution, Biscuits and Clothes:

A total 1300gms of fresh Spirulina thus a total 260 doses of Spirulina was served in juice to benefit over 100 children and over 30 adults total 130 people in attendance. Biscuits and Clothes were also distributed to the attending participants. We have demonstrated that school going children feeding on Spirulina tend to take much longer to become sick. This has helped the school program operate under minimal sick off risks.

The children tend to be more active and attentive most of the day which creates room for an improved knowledge absorption rate. A lot more fiscal resources are necessary if reasonable impact is to be created and good results achieved. We kindly request willing donors to come in their large numbers to this aid for the purposes of helping the community we serve to achieve a more permanent solution to help uplift the impaired living conditions in line with and as per the needs of the UN sustainable development goals, No. 1, 2, 3 and 4. Poverty levels, Quality dietary balanced food for hunger reduction, preventive and curative health needs for good health and wellbeing, quality education needs, gender equality, clean water and sanitation are but among some of the concerns and necessities of this community. It is envisaged that advocacy for their economic empowerment would be a total sustainable solution to reasonably better their living conditions and life style hence improve and uplift their living standards.

Beneficiaries conveyed their heartfelt most sincere thanks to the IIMSAM organization and the donors and in particular H.E. Dr. Merhebi who has so far continued to contribute towards this mission for the concern demonstrated to ensuring their improved health through feeding on Spirulina and for providing a platform of unique opportunity to help them live quality life and help them steer clear from challenges and dangers of malnutrition hence its related side health complications and subsequent fatal eventuality.

They observed that feeding on Spirulina helps them cut on medical bills as a result of a seemingly improved immunity as a disease preventive measure. They appealed for continued support including where possible to be considered for sustainable development programs that could better improve their lives and living standards.

Above their hopeful wishes were to be considered for poverty eradication initiatives the likes of involvement in economic empowerment programs, hunger reduction initiatives, Health and education programs. All our Spirulina beneficiaries reside in slum areas of Kisumu Kenya. They live poor substandard life down in the ghettos of slam environment with their helpless families.

These families survive on less than a dollar per day. Their children have no opportunity to go to school. That is why IIMSAM wishes to incorporate as many of them as possible in 2016 IIMSAM school program. IIMSAM therefore wishes to appeal and extend its special request and invitation on their behalf for any willing donor including our IIMSAM notable donors to kindly extend fiscal assistance for their up keep and sustainability within the school and feeding program for assured sustained health, quality of life and educational needs in preparedness for equipping them with their future skilled manpower requirements to help them lead normal quality life. There are very many children that need help but can only benefit if we have minimum boarding facilitation initiatives. These include the IIMSAM twins among others. This is a major hindrance in benefiting as many children as possible.

We are currently feeding over 100 children and adults at the IIMSAM Sheikh Zayed Spirulina feeding center Kisumu Kenya every day. So far we thank all the hands which have extended their kindness with concrete deeds in helping IIMSAM make progress with its activities in the past, present and in the future.
