An estimated 195 million children are affected by malnutrition worldwide. It contributes to at least one-third of the eight million annual deaths of children under five years of age. These deaths are preventable if the nutritional requirements of young children are met.
"Starved for Attention" aims to reform humanitarian food assistance and nutrition programmes for malnourished children.
Sign the petition to help us mobilise the resources needed to scale up programmes to prevent and treat malnutrition at www.starvedforattention.org
