Why Bangladesh
Poverty & Food Insecurity
- Over 40 million people live below the national poverty line (World Bank).
- Food inflation makes nutritious food unaffordable for low‑income families (World Bank).
- Poor urban families in Dhaka spend up to 70% of income on food (FAO).
Education Barriers
- 1 in 4 of the poorest children doesn’t go to school (UNICEF).
- Children from food‑insecure households are most likely to miss school (WFP).
- Attendance drops during lean seasons, when families cannot afford food (WFP).
High Cost
of Child Malnutrition
- 28% of children under five have stunted growth due to insufficient food (UNICEF).
- 11% of children are wasted, one of the highest rates in South Asia (UNICEF).
- 38% of children receive a minimally acceptable diet (UNICEF).
