The Crisis That
Silently Holds
Children Back

In South Africa, 1 in 4 children under five is affected by chronic undernutrition. During the critical first 1,000 days of life, this can lead to childhood stunting.

Stunting is the silent harm that stops a child’s brain and body from developing fully. It impacts their life journey and perpetuates the cycle of poverty by limiting their ability to:

Grow: They can be up to 15cm shorter than their peers.

Learn: They may lose ~40% of their brain’s developmental potential, making it difficult to concentrate and perform in school.

Earn: They are less likely to find stable employment and reach their full earning potential later in life.

FAQ

We know that trust requires transparency. Here are the answers to the questions donors ask most often:

R10 provides one nutritional sachet, giving a child enough nourishment for one day. To help a child reach their full potential, the goal is 30 sachets per month. Every donation directly supports children in need. The sachets are manufactured by Compact Food Solutions at our facility in Cape Town and distributed by Food Forward SA.
We ensure your donation is delivered safely by Food Forward SA. They deliver the sachets directly to beneficiary organisations and Early Childhood Development Centres (ECDs), guaranteeing they are not for resale and reach only the children who need them.
Compact Food Solutions is committed to this cause because we believe in every child's right to grow, learn, earn and thrive. Although government and NGO programmes work hard to address malnutrition, they often struggle with insufficient resources or may not specifically target the critical first 1,000 days (from pregnancy to a child’s second birthday). Our "Raise a Life. Raise a Nation." campaign is designed to fill this gap. By focusing on this early window, we ensure that every contribution has the greatest possible impact on preventing stunting and securing a child's lifelong health and development.
