The importance of nutrition in early childhood development is still being overlooked in our poor communities. Malnutrition in children is still a huge problem in South Africa.
Why is nutrition education for kids important?
With almost 70% of children living below the poverty line in South Africa. Many still do not have access to nutritious food to help develop their growing bodies and minds.
A child cannot focus let alone learn on an empty stomach. There are many schools and ECD Centres that fall outside of the Government’s quantile system. Many of our beneficiaries who also manage on-site ECDs struggle to get funding and equipment to help run their establishments. They are also in need of food to feed the children every day, while also feeding the children in their communities.
