Malnutrition is the greatest contributor to child mortality according to the WHO (World Health Organization). In 2010 approximately 20 million children worldwide were estimated to suffer from severe acute malnutrition, while one third of all childhood deaths were and still are linked to malnutrition. (WHO)


Malnutrition is caused by unbalanced diets lacking vital nutrients leaving children more vulnerable to serious illness and early death. Essential micronutrient supplements containing selected vitamins and nutrients (particularly vitamin A, iron, iodine, folate and zinc), as formulated and recommended by the WHO and UNICEF, are trusted to mitigate the effects of malnutrition especially among children under the age of five.

Essential micronutrients are imperative for proper immune function, structural integrity of cells, and cognitive development of infants and children. Providing these helps build the foundation for good health and the opportunity to lead meaningful as well as productive lives.

Many children in foadac orphanages suffer from malnutrition a great deal. We have launched a food drive efforts in the past to attempt to feed some of the children. We are looking for any one who can help us with getting pre-packaged nutrition packed foods. The type that is usually sent to disaster zones by Red Cross or Unicef for example. All ideas and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  
Thanks always !
