The project
ChildhoodFood aid
A child’s diet during the first 1,000 days of life plays a key role in their future health. However, between 2019 and 2021, childhood obesity doubled, with 10% of children now overweight. To reverse these trends, the Malin Program supports families on tight budgets to improve the diets of their children under the age of 3. The organization currently supports nearly 100,000 children and has supported more than 320,000 since its inception.

Why we love it?
We all know the old adage "You are what you eat". So it's essential to eat well from an early age, whatever your household income. This is the mission that Programme Malin pursues with determination and ambition!
The nutrition of families and young children is a public health issue. Numerous studies show that prevention through appropriate and early nutrition, during the first 1,000 days of life, contributes to reducing the prevalence of these chronic non-transmissible diseases.
