Ensuring a Healthy Future for Your Child with the BISP Nashonuma Program!
The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is a cornerstone of Pakistan’s social welfare efforts, dedicated to uplifting the nation socioeconomically. One essential component of this program is the Benazir Nashonuma Program, specifically designed to support pregnant and lactating women by providing cash assistance and free nutritional supplements to safeguard against malnutrition-related ailments.
Supporting Children Through Their First 1000 Days
With over 2 million clients nationwide benefitting, the Benazir Nashonuma Program plays a crucial role in offering pregnant women comprehensive support, including medical check-ups and nutritious food until the child reaches 2 years of age. This support during the child’s first 1000 days is vital for building immunity and combating diseases, especially in regions where malnutrition is prevalent among pregnant women.
لہٰذا، کامیاب خواتین جو نسونوما پروگرام کی شرائط پر پوری اترتی ہیں، اس میں رجسٹر کر سکتی ہیں اور جیسے ہی ان پروگرام میں شامل ہوتی ہیں، انہیں ہر مہینے 2500 روپے اور مفت غذائی فوڈ پیکس ملتے ہیں تاکہ ان کی غذائیت میں قدر شامل ہو جائے جو نتیجتاً بچے کی صحت کو تیزی سے بہتر بناتا ہے۔ یہ عمل اس بچے کے پیدائش کے بعد شروع ہوگا جب تک وہ دو سال کی عمر تک نہیں پورا ہوجاتا۔
