Malnutrition is one of the most pressing issues in India, affecting millions of children, women, and communities. Despite the country's rapid economic growth, hunger and poor nutrition continue to hinder progress. Nearly 35% of Indian children under the age of 5 are stunted, and 20% are wasted, according to the latest UNICEF data. These children are deprived of the nutrients they need to grow, learn, and thrive.
Malnutrition is not just a health crisis – it's a developmental crisis.
Every year, millions of children suffer irreversible physical and cognitive damage due to malnutrition. This not only affects their immediate well-being but also hampers their ability to contribute to society in the future. The consequences are far-reaching – reduced educational outcomes, decreased productivity, and perpetuation of poverty.
Malnutrition weakens children's immune systems, making them more susceptible to diseases. This leads to higher rates of infant mortality and morbidity. Stunted growth and poor cognitive development also limit their potential, creating long-term cycles of poverty.Women, especially pregnant women, are often the most vulnerable to malnutrition. It affects their health, impedes their ability to care for their children, and increases the risk of premature birth, low birth weight, and infant mortality.Malnutrition costs India an estimated 4.5% of its GDP every year due to reduced productivity, increased healthcare costs, and loss of human capital.
Hamari Pahchan NGO has been working for this cause relentlessly. We aspire to reach our goal ‘complete eradication of hunger’ with your humble support.Our initiative is focused on eradicating malnutrition in India through a multi-pronged approach, which includes,Empowering communities with knowledge about healthy eating, food diversity, and proper infant and maternal nutrition.Providing nutritious meals and supplements to vulnerable populations, particularly children and pregnant women in rural and underserved areas.Raising awareness about the importance of nutrition, sanitation, and hygiene to combat the root causes of malnutrition.
