Malnutrition Facts
Over 2 billion people across the globe suffer from malnutrition.
Malnutrition isn't specific to one city, one region, or one country. It doesn't discriminate based on ethnicity or age or gender identity or socioeconomic status. It is a silent, invisible epidemic that affects - directly or indirectly - everyone. We believe good nutrition is a human right. Join us to change the facts.
Shining a light on malnutrition.
We believe that good nutrition should be like sunshine: accessible, available and affordable for everyone.
