The effect of under nutrition on young children (ages 0-8) can be devastating and enduring. It can impede behavioural and cognitive development, educability, and reproductive health, thereby undermining future work productivity. Whether or not children are well-nourished during their first years of life can have a profound effect on their health status, as well as their ability to learn, communicate, think analytically, socialize effectively and adapt to new environments and people. ECD projects can help prevent and address malnutrition by providing supplemental feeding in ECD centres and by educating parents about their childrens nutritional needs. Let us invest in Early Childhood Development.
