Every year 8.8 million children under 5 years of age dies worldwide. A third of them die because of malnutrition and related diseases. Terrible that it should be so.

One third of all children in the world weighs too little for his age or are too short due to malnutrition. 160 million children suffer due to lack of vitamin A; 1 million die from a weakened immune system, 500 000 go blind each year.

3 billion people of the world’s 7 billion has wrong nutrition; 1 billion are undernourished, 1 billion are eating the wrong foods, 1 billion are overweight or obese.

Something is wrong.
