The Power of Nutrition

Adequate nutrition strengthens immunity, improves school performance, supports mental health, and boosts productivity. It equips individuals and communities to better withstand shocks and recover faster. When we invest in nutrition, we’re investing in resilience - creating the conditions for stability, opportunity, and growth even in uncertain times. #NutritionMatters #InvestInNutrition

Our focus on women, children, and adolescents helps protect those most vulnerable to malnutrition - giving them the chance to grow, learn, and thrive. 📢 We all have a role to play in raising the profile of nutrition as a driver of health, equality, and opportunity. #NutritionMatters #InvestInNutrition

Stunting isn’t just about being too short for one’s age. It’s a marker of chronic undernutrition that limits children’s ability to learn, thrive, and reach their potential. The ripple effects extend beyond individuals, undermining economic growth and development for generations. Investing in proven nutrition interventions is one of the smartest decisions governments, donors, and partners can make. #NutritionMatters #InvestInNutrition

Niyojehova* was eight months pregnant with her first child when we met at her home in Bugesera, a district one hour south of Kigali in Rwanda. Like many first-time mothers, her head was spinning with questions about her future child. Fortunately, living in a district supported by The Power of Nutrition’s partnership programme, she was able to receive practical advice from community health workers at the local health centre. There, she learned about prenatal care, the importance of regular check-ups, self-care and good nutrition.

Three in ten women aged 15–49 globally are living with anaemia, and one third of this age group lack minimum dietary diversity, undermining their health and that of their children during pregnancy and beyond (SOFI 2025 https://lnkd.in/eprdcYmn) Maternal health isn’t just urgent, it’s transformational. Providing diverse, nutrient-rich diets and targeted supplements during pregnancy powers better birth outcomes, reduces anaemia, breaks the cycle of malnutrition and lays the groundwork for lifelong growth. #SOFI2025 #GoodFood4All #EmptyPlates #NutritionMatters #InvestInNutrition #MaternalHealth
