Every child deserves a chance to grow, thrive, and dream. Yet malnutrition – a preventable crisis – threatens these rights and is responsible for half of all child deaths under the age of 5. We are making a critical push this month, to #FeedOurFuture. Canada must take bold action by investing $750 million over 5 years for the scale-up of the most effective solutions against malnutrition, an overlooked global emergency.
As the year comes to a close, your Member of Parliament (MP) is getting ready to head home to their families for the holidays. Send your MP your best wishes for the winter holidays and introduce them to our #FeedOurFuture campaign. Tell your MP why you care about making sure children worldwide have nutritious food and how the Canadian government can step-up by committing $750 million in nutrition-specific funding over five years, at the Paris Nutrition for Growth Summit in March 2025. Be sure to attach this graphic!
