Free distribution of soybean milk for malnourished children in Angola

We are delighted to officialy announce the launch of our latest brand campaign - Milk4Children

In Angola many children continue to suffer from problems associated with malnutrition, lack of water, health, or protection. Malnutrition, a direct consequence of poverty, is a serious and troubling problem in Angola. Families can’t give their body as much food as it needs.

The problem we are trying to solve

Malnutrition is the 7 disease that kills the most in Angola and it is estimated that 46 children die of malnutrition every day in the country.  Southern and central Angola are facing one of the worst climate shocks in recent years, including alternating droughts and floods. Vulnerable populations use untreated wastewater for consumption, such as stagnant and unprotected pond water, where animals drink and defecate, and rural populations seek water that is dangerous to drink, cook and feed their animals. 

Moreover, droughts, limited access to safe drinking water, and increased food insecurity also have a significant impact on the health and nutrition of the population, especially for children under 5.

The increase in malnutrition arising due to the coronavirus pandemic is expected to cause nearly 170,000 additional child deaths in the next two years.

Please, read that again, and understand that we are in the middle of a crisis within a crisis.

Solutions

It is well documented that malnutrition is one of the main causes of child death in Angola. Furthermore, children, with weaker bodies and health, are more vulnerable and suffer seriously from hunger. 

Therefore, the objective of this campaign is to distribute soybean flour and soybean milk as protein quality diet to improve nutritional status of malnourished children.

• RECOMMENDATIONS

To improve the nutritional status of malnourished under five children further intervention is needed in terms of education and training on soybean-based diet formulation.

• FUTURE RESEARCH

More research should be done to increase the data base on soybean research in Angola and contribute to further development of improved products to combat malnutrition.
