Your snack helps children and mothers in Nepal
Thanks to your purchase, we can distribute meals to children and mothers on site.
Did you know that each of our products always contains a social donation? Let's take a look at Nepal, the highest country in the world on average. This is where a large part of the Himalayan mountains are located, including Mount Everest. Rural, remote areas with inadequate infrastructure are also a factor that exacerbates food insecurity in the country. Children and women in particular suffer from inadequate nutrition. The COVID-19 pandemic hit vulnerable families in Nepal, who were already suffering from hunger. This quickly turned from a health emergency into a sever food and livelihood crisis. Here, your snack donates to provide malnourished children and mothers with vital meals.
What do these meals look like and what else is behind them?
The World Food Program (WFP) is on the ground in Nepal, ensuring that children receive nutritious meals from the very beginning. Children as well as pregnant and breastfeeding mothers receive fortified cereals that are cooked into a hot, nutritious porridge. Because no phase of life has such a strong influence on physical and mental health as the first 1000 days of a child's life. As this phase begins in the womb, the mother's nutrition during pregnancy is also incredibly important.
UN World Food Programme
The UN World Food Programme is the world's largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger. The WFP is part of the United Nations and is funded exclusively by voluntary contributions from governments, companies and individuals.
How exactly is a meal funded?
Now back to the donation. How does it turn into social aid? Together with our partner, the WFP, we want to give young children and mothers access to nutritious meals and help them to eat a balanced diet. However, as an independent aid organization, the WFP does not support any products or services. That's why share gives 10 cents of every snack sold to the WFP to support the distribution of meals. The joint project is part of the ShareTheMeal initiative.
Project active since February 2020
