The cost of childhood malnutrition: Ukraine’s lost potential.

Many children in Ukraine, especially those from IDPs and low-income families, suffer from vitamin and mineral deficiencies. This leads to stunted physical and mental development, weakened immunity, and an increased risk of disease. Scientific research confirms that vitamin deficiency can have long-term negative health consequences, affecting academic performance, productivity and overall well-being in adulthood. Who are the Ukrainians who will build the future of our country? Will they be strong and healthy enough if their bodies are already suffering from a lack of the most basic necessities?

Providing children with nutritious food is not just a word, but an investment in the future of our country. Scientific evidence shows that children who receive all the vitamins and minerals they need learn better and have better health. The Make it Real Foundation is building the future of Ukraine by taking care of the health of all children, regardless of their social status.

The importance of vitamins for children.

• Vitamin D: For strong bones and immunity.

• B vitamins: For brain and nervous system development.
