Fact from UNICEF / WHO / World Bank:
Child Stunting: 149.2 million
Stunting is the devastating result of poor nutrition in-utero and early childhood. Children suffering from stunting may never attain their full possible height and their brains may never develop to their full cognitive potential.
These children begin their lives at a marked disadvantage: they face learning difficulties in school,
earn less as adults, and face barriers to participation in their communities.
Globally, 149.2 million children under 5 suffered from stunting in 2020.

Bountiful's Community Coordinators
Community coordinators serve with Bountiful as volunteers. They organize other local volunteers and together conduct screenings, train families, distribute locally-purchased nutritional supplements, and follow up on infant development.
Nilda
This is Nilda. She is a single mother with two children. She lives alone with her children at the foot of a hill called Hü, in the city of Paraguari. In that area, they still do not have water and must carry in drums of water from their nearest neighbor, which lives 200 meters away, for their use. And to get to their home you have to walk 5 km from where the bus leaves you. Nilda is very grateful to the Foundation for the help she receives.
