US President Donald Trump signed an executive order suspending US development aid on his very first day in office.

Funds have been frozen for 90 days , while his administration reviews whether projects are "aligned" with US interests.

The Nepal National Vitamin A Program (NVAP) is just one of the projects affected.

US courts have already called into question the legality of the Trump administration's freeze on foreign assistance.

Former Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta : "Let us be self-reliant" "This is a wake-up call to you to say: 'Okay, what are we going to do to help ourselves?" Nepali health minister: "We definitely know that this is the US people's taxpayers' money".
