The problem is real. Very real.
Malnutrition is devastating – it is the underlying cause of over half of childhood deaths in South Africa. It systematically destroys a child – their cognitive development, their immune system, their body as well as their muscle growth and makes them more vulnerable to disease and death.

Headstart Kids is on a mission, each and every day – to fight childhood malnutrition. Our goal is to make a REAL DIFFERENCE and reach ONE MILLION children under the age of 5 by 2025. And, with your help, we WILL get there
How do we do this?
Children are most vulnerable to malnutrition. If they don’t receive essential nutrients, their opportunity for developing a healthy mind and body is lost. A child’s 5th birthday is an important milestone for their survival. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), malnutrition is the underlying cause of death for 3.1 million children each year, accounting for nearly half of child deaths globally. HeadStart Kids provides Mix Me™ Vitamin & Mineral Powder- a micronutrient supplement for malnourished children which, when taken daily, provides these children with the nutrients they need to grow and develop a healthier brain and body.
• track each child’s measurements for weight, height, and MAUC
• administer deworming,
• perform eye assessments.
