Hungry and malnourished children are deprived of the opportunity to learn and grow. Malnutrition is a leading cause of death in many areas.

Through child sponsorship, World Vision encourages a diet that includes a variety of foods and sources of micronutrients.  Mothers receive training on how to grow backyard gardens and prepare nutritious meals. A well-nourished child has a better immune system to fight disease, more energy to help around the home, and a sharper mind for learning in school.

Improved Nutrition—in conjunction with education, skills training, agricultural assistance, health care, and access to safe water—can transform the lives of children, families and entire communities forever.
