As a child, I was never aware of financial problems. My mother was a single mother and would often work up to 3 jobs a week in order to provide for my older brother & I. One thing we were never without is the basic nutrients needed to sustain a healthy life. We may have eaten a lot of chicken or beans, but we always ate.
It saddens me to think that children in America leave school not knowing if they are going to have dinner. We have so many great nutritional programs in our country that having hungry children is never acceptable.
But what is happen to women and children globally? Are they getting enough nutrients to sustain a healthy lifestyle?
Future Fortified is a great non-profit awareness campaign of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN). They help the average individual, business & other organizations reach millions of women and children so they too can have access to the essential nutrients they need to live a healthy & sustainable lifestyle globally.
Good nutrition is something every person, in every country should have, EVERY day. Good nutrition begins during the mother’s pregnancy of her child. The first 1,000 days are critical in a child life. Without the basic vitamins and nutients, a child or their mother may not survive the pregnany, delivery or even after their birth.
