Our nutrition programs provide nourishment to those who need it most: some of our world’s poorest women and children.

Without schooling, those living in deep poverty are unaware of their dietary needs. Undernourished women deliver underweight children. These children never overcome their early disadvantage. Of those under five, 195 million suffer from stunting (UNICEF). Most of them eat just one meal a day. They struggle to make it through school, let alone perform well in their classes. With empty stomachs, those with HIV cannot digest their medication. So they, and children with disabilities, lag even farther behind. Without help, many die before adulthood.
