A Commitment to “Nutrition for Every Child”
Hunger is often perceived as the ultimate adversary in the fight against poverty, yet it is not just the absence of food alone that causes suffering and death. More often, it is poor nutrition. The focus from merely filling stomachs to ensuring the nutritional quality of what is consumed is what this mission is about.
Poor nutrition is the underlying cause of many preventable diseases and deaths worldwide. It is particularly devastating in vulnerable groups such as children, pregnant women.
This 2nd anniversary of the SaiSure Nutraceutical Facility marked a significant step toward addressing these critical challenges of malnutrition and anaemia among children. With guidance from Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai and collaboration with experts like Dr. Annapoorna Sridevi, the facility is poised to expand its operations and impact, bringing the vision of “Nutrition for Every Child” closer to reality.
