According to the World Health Organization, nearly half of all deaths among children under five years old are linked to undernutrition. This staggering statistic highlights the devastating and self-perpetuating problem known as the cycle of malnutrition, which entraps individuals, families, and entire communities in a continuous loop of poor health and limited opportunity.

According to UNICEF, malnourished mothers give birth to as many as 17 million underweight infants a year globally. This contributes to the devastating intergenerational cycle of undernutrition, a complex issue where poor nutritional status is passed down from one generation to the next, trapping families in perpetual poverty and ill-health.
