It is a sad fact that many children around the world do not get enough to eat, and the meals they do have are often deficient of essential nutrients. Malnutrition slows a child's development and makes them vulnerable to a number of illnesses.

According to the United Nations State of Food Insecurity in the World report, 820 million people in the developing world are undernourished.

Good nutrition is a building block for proper development and can:

• Strengthen the immune system
• Enhance cognitive and physical development
• Increase concentration in school
