Zero Hunger
India is home to 46.6 million stunted children, a third of the world’s total as per the Global Nutrition Report 2018. Nearly half of all under-5 child mortality is caused mainly due to malnutrition. Malnutrition is associated with various forms of ill health and higher levels of mortality. Undernutrition accounts for approximately 45% of deaths among children under 5, mainly in low and middle income families.
One of the key programs of the Child Help Foundation is to eliminate hunger from society and help our children thrive. These activities help achieve SDG2 goals as defined by the United Nations. In the recent past, climatic catastrophes and pandemics resulted in a food shortage creating a threat to the survival of many. Child Help Foundation is enabling access to Healthy and Nutritious Food for the needy. During Covid 19 we were able to provide a million meals across the country.
Child Help Foundation's Zero Hunger program ensures that at least 10 lakh children do not go to bed on an empty stomach. We feed freshly prepared warm and nutritious meals daily. In the initial 3 and a half years of this program, 50 percent of these beneficiaries have seen an improvement in their health, and 70 percent of them have resumed going back to school.
