LET’S GET MORE NUTRITION
TO KIDS IN NEED

Moms here in the U.S. know that milk is packed with protein, calcium and other key nutrients that kids need to grow and be healthy. But here’s something to think about — global statistics show that more than 60 million primary school-aged children in developing countries attend class hungry. And we know that children simply don’t learn as well when they are malnourished.

Mothers Helping Mothers

 
The good news is that some charitable organizations are establishing school feeding programs throughout the world to improve children's health and nutrition — which has proven to increase learning and school attendance. And you can do your part.





With a goal of getting more nutrition — and more milk — to kids worldwide, Global Child Nutrition Foundation (GCNF) helps governments in developing countries to initiate and expand school feeding programs. These highly successful programs respond to the nutritional needs of children, while considering local cultural and community values.
"As nations strive to achieve the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals, school feeding becomes a time-tested, successful initiative to reduce hunger, increase school attendance for boys and girls, and enhance a child's ability to learn," said GCNF President Gene White. "On a broader scale, school feeding supports the country's poverty reduction goals and contributes to the social and economic development of the country."


MOTHERS HELPING MOTHERS


Mothers in the U.S. can help
mothers around the world to ensure their
children get the nutrition they need to learn
and grow. To support GCNF:

● Support GCNF and donate
● Share how you're an advocate for
reducing childhood hunger

     


    Because milk contains virtually all the vital nutrients required for growth, it is central to school feeding programs. Milk and other dairy products are excellent sources of calcium, which is especially important for children and vital for the growth and strength of bones. For decades, Tetra Pak, through its Food for Development Office, has been working with governments around the world to initiate, promote and support school milk and school feeding programs. We collaborate with effective organizations like GCNF to create programs that are self sustaining.


    SAME MILK. SAME NUTRITION.

    Nutrient-dense milk has plenty of protein, calcium and other important
    vitamins and minerals that may be lacking in your family's diet.
