  1. What You Need To Know About Malnutrition & Feeding Children

  2. A Tragic Story: Malnutrition can be a misunderstood term that doesn’t do justice to the reality of its impact or the horror of its effects among children. The statistics tell a tragic story: More than half of South Africa’s children continue to live below the poverty line, Chronic malnutrition is an underlying cause for half the childhood deaths in SA, 1.5 million children (1 in 3) are stunted, About 75 000 children are obese, and 30% of children live in households where no adults are employed and have little or no access to a daily healthy diet.

  3. ‘Feed the children’ - UNICEF SA UNICEF South Africa is for every child and is committed to every child surviving and thriving. Our humanitarian campaigns are working to reduce the malnutrition statistics among our children - ensuring that the most vulnerable children are prioritised in receiving nutrition interventions, including food relief packages in the form of food parcels that meet certain nutritional standards. Change in Action is a current UNICEF South Africa initiative intent on empowering children in the areas of health and nutrition, education and protection. #MOVE4CHANGE is our current campaign focused on child nutrition to ensure every child in South Africa has access to a healthier future.
