🌍 World Food Day 2024: Every Child Deserves Nutritious Food 🍎🥦 On World Food Day, we reflect on the importance of food security for every child. The Convention on the Rights of the Child (Article 24) emphasizes that children have the right to adequate nutrition as a part of their right to health. At LETCEE, we are committed to ensuring children in early childhood development (ECD) receive the nutrition they need to grow, learn, and thrive. Good nutrition is crucial for young children's brain development, physical growth, and long-term health. Without proper nourishment, children face barriers to reaching their full potential—affecting not just their future, but the future of our communities. LETCEE’s Food Security Program is designed to provide sustainable solutions to hunger and malnutrition, ensuring that no child goes hungry. 💡 Want to learn more about our program?

Together, we can create a world where every child has the right to nutritious food and the opportunity to flourish. #WorldFoodDay #FoodSecurity #ChildNutrition #ECD #Donate #PartnerWithUs #LETCEE #RightToFood #SustainableFuture

Food is an essential building block of life. Without adequate nutrition, people can barely be expected to survive, let alone thrive. Hunger can lead directly to poor brain development, sight issues, compromised immunity and an increased susceptibility to disease. That's why providing access to food and clean water is a key pillar of how we work at Beta Charitable Trust. Find out more about our food projects at betacharitabletrust.org.

#BreakingTheCycle is imperative in our efforts to combat malnutrition in women and children. Introducing communities to #DietDiversity is a small effort, supported by Tata Trusts, that can lead to a big impact. One such change began when Gousia, a lactating mother from Velvadam, began cultivating a nutri-garden to improve her family's health. In the process, she inspired the entire village to join. Aided by the Vijayavahini Charitable Foundation, they learned new techniques to cultivate nutrition-rich fruits and vegetables in their nutri-gardens. What started in a small patch of land grew into a large initiative. This cycle of good nutrition started with Gousia and the Vijayavahini Charitable Foundation, with critical support from Tata Trusts, empowered a whole community with an understanding of the importance of a diverse diet and how it could be practiced.
