Malnutrition remains a pressing crisis across many regions in Africa, contributing to stunted, weakened immune systems and high child mortality rates. According to UNICEF, over 45 million children worldwide suffer from wasting (low weight for height) with a significant concentration in sub-Saharan Africa. While long-term solutions require systemic change- like agricultural reforms and poverty reduction, immediate nutritional interventions are critical to saving lives and, in the long term, improving the quality of lives.

To address the nutritional gap resulting from increasing poverty, we are launching the “AN APPLE A DAY” project. This is basically a  fruit supply intervention that will provide malnourished children in hard-to-reach areas with daily nutritious fruits, particularly apples. Most of these children may have never seen an apple let alone eaten one. We will identify school with high numbers of malnourished children and provide regular fruit supplies until we see our desired results. The ages that will be targeted are from 5 to 10 years old.

This initiative is a potential lifeline for children facing hunger and malnutrition. By delivering a regular dose of health and hope through a single apple this projects aims an outcome of improved weight, height and health report, improve school attendance as well as job creation, our over all aim is to nourish bodies, uplift communities and build a healthier future for the next Africa generation
