What we are needed
We are needed now to help in solving the global obesity crisis. According to WHO,
-Worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980.
-In 2014, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight. Of these over 600 million were obese.
-39% of adults aged 18 years and over were overweight in 2014, and 13% were obese. -Most of the world's population live in countries where overweight and obesity kills more people than underweight.
-42 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese in 2013.
-Obesity is preventable.
According to WHO,
-A quarter of all adults report having been physically abused as children.
-One in 5 women and 1 in 13 men report having been sexually abused as a child.
-Consequences of child maltreatment include impaired lifelong physical and mental health, and the social and occupational outcomes can ultimately slow a country's economic and social development.
-Preventing child maltreatment before it starts is possible and requires a multi-sectoral approach.
-Effective prevention programmes support parents and teach positive parenting skills.
-Ongoing care of children and families can reduce the risk of maltreatment reoccurring and can minimize its consequences.
As we go along we love to give back to our global community by providing basic needs to disadvantage children.
We provide basic needs such as books, School uniforms, bed sheets tooth brush and tooth paste etc...
