The right to survival entails the right to a healthy life. This means that children should be rightfully assured of adequate nutrition and quality healthcare. Their names be registered as citizens to access state nutritional schemes. Infant and child mortality should be curtailed and malnourishment should not be a concern.
A new report from UNICEF suggests that malnutrition has stunted nearly 200 million children under 5 living in poor countries and that future generations are in jeopardy unless urgent efforts are made to tackle undernutrition.
Malnutrition is devastating. It plays a part in more than a third of all child deaths in developing countries. It blunts the intellect, saps the productivity of everyone it touches and perpetuates poverty.
Proper nutrition helps give every child the best start in life. UNICEF has worked from its founding on nutrition programming aimed at fulfilling every child’s right to adequate nutrition.
THINK TWICE BEFORE WASTING FOOD....
