Nutrition During The First 1000 Days Is Critical

For every child, having enough of the right food during the first 1000 days is critical as the lack of adequate nutrition can have a far-reaching impact on the child’s ability to grow, learn and eventually rise out of poverty. Tahmid is only one and a half years old. With his mother fighting poverty and working in the field all day, he became undernourished gradually after he turned one. ECHO-funded specialized nutritious food provided by WFP has helped Tahmid and he is now healthy.
