Why Nutrition?
Imagine a world where every child wakes up with the energy to chase their dreams and every mother has the strength to nurture her family. In India today, that dream feels distant for far too many.
- 67 out of 100 children and 57 out of 100 women battle anemia, silently stealing their health and future (NFHS-5).
- Poor nutrition is the shadow behind 68% of deaths in children under 5, breaking countless families.
- 1 in 3 children under 5 is stunted, their growth stifled not by potential, but by a lack of nourishment.
- For women, malnutrition increases the risk of complications during childbirth, contributing to 20% of maternal deaths—a tragedy no family should endure.
These aren’t just numbers; they’re stories of struggle and loss. Malnutrition doesn’t just weaken bodies—it dims futures, erodes potential, and takes loved ones too soon.
But there is hope. Every step toward proper nutrition changes lives:
- A well-nourished child is less likely to fall ill and has the strength to thrive in school.
- Addressing anemia in women can save lives and empower mothers, ensuring healthier families.
- Communities with better nutrition see improved productivity and economic strength, creating a ripple effect of progress.
At The We Foundation, we’re on a mission to rewrite these stories. We provide accessible and culturally relevant nutrition solutions to ensure every family, regardless of background, has the chance to thrive. From combating anemia with iron supplements to promoting breastfeeding and teaching families about affordable, nutritious meals, we’re building healthier futures one meal, one person, one community at a time.
Together, we can create a stronger, healthier India. Because no child should go hungry for opportunity, and no mother should lack the strength to dream
