Inspired by my work in a nutrition program for mothers and young children in Kwale, Kenya, and later by my motherhood journey. I’ve seen firsthand how vital good nutrition is for child development and overall well-being.We hope to contribute to efforts geared towards reaching global Nutrition Targets, a recipe at a time."We urge leaders to prioritise action to ensure that all people, particularly those most affected by malnutrition, have unhindered access to healthy and affordable food, and to quality nutrition."
