UNICEF and MMG improve nutritional status of children

MMG and UNICEF partnered from late 2011 to raise funds, awareness and provide on-the-ground programs to target zinc and other micronutrient deficiencies internationally.

Through a matched giving campaign via the UNICEF website, and programs such as the Laos 1000 Day project, the partnership aims to distribute the benefits of zinc and other micronutrients to prevent the deaths associated with chronic diarrhoea and the life-long impacts of micronutrient deficiencies in early childhood development.

	The 1000 Day Project UNICEF and MMG have partnered with the Laos Ministry of Health in its drive to improve the nutrition of Laos children in three provinces.
	Double Your Impact MMG launched a year-round matched giving campaign through UNICEF’s Inspired Gifts. Every Magical Micronutrient, Mighty Milk and Bundle of Health will be matched by MMG, dollar for dollar, resulting in double the impact for children in need.
