Malnutrition contributes to 45% of child mortalities by putting children at a greater risk of preventable diseases like pneumonia and diarrhoea. In fact, 15,000 children under five die from mostly preventable causes every day. And those who survive may not achieve their full potential.

World Vision focuses on ensuring child and maternal health by promoting health and nutrition practices, improving health services and preventing major causes of disease.
