 Impact Projects

Kaag Honey is making a positive impact by helping improve the lives of malnourished children across Africa through the provision of nutrient-rich cereals and bee pollen.

Malnutrition continues to be a critical and widespread challenge for children throughout the continent, affecting millions through stunting, wasting, and food insecurity.

Key Facts on Child Malnutrition in Africa

A quick look at the major causes, impacts, and challenges of child malnutrition across Africa, highlighting urgent health and nutrition issues.

Stunting

About 30.7% of children under five in Africa suffer from stunting, meaning they are significantly shorter than the average for their age due to prolonged undernutrition.

Wasting

In 2024, roughly 12.2 million children under five experienced severe wasting, a life-threatening condition marked by dangerously low weight relative to height.

Food Insecurity

Approximately 64 million children under five—nearly one-third of all children in Africa—face severe food poverty, which raises their risk of life-threatening malnutrition by up to 50%.

Acute Malnutrition in the Horn of Africa

In 2023, nearly 12 million young children in the Greater Horn of Africa were acutely malnourished, with 2.9 million requiring urgent treatment for severe acute malnutrition.

Sudan Crisis

The ongoing conflict in Sudan has resulted in a humanitarian disaster, with over 522,000 children dying from malnutrition and an additional 286,000 reported cases.

Nigeria

In Nigeria, an estimated 2 million children suffer from severe acute malnutrition, with malnutrition causing or contributing to 45% of deaths among children under five.

Causes Behind Child Malnutrition in Africa

Several interconnected factors drive the high rates of child malnutrition on the continent:

  • Conflict and Displacement

Wars and unrest, particularly in Sudan and the Sahel, disrupt food production and accessibility, increasing malnutrition.

  • Climate Change

 Droughts and unpredictable weather patterns reduce food availability and quality, worsening malnutrition risks.

  • Economic Instability

Rising food prices and economic hardship limit families’ ability to obtain nutritious meals.

  • Inadequate Healthcare and Nutrition Services

Limited healthcare access and poor nutrition programs hinder efforts to prevent and treat malnutrition.

Immediate Priorities and Solutions

Combating child malnutrition in Africa requires urgent, coordinated action:

  • Boosting Humanitarian Aid

Delivering emergency food and nutritional support to vulnerable communities.

  • Strengthening Healthcare Systems

Enhancing medical infrastructure to better prevent, detect, and treat malnutrition.

  • Promoting Sustainable Agriculture

Encouraging local food production to create a reliable and nutritious food supply.

  • Raising Education and Awareness

Teaching communities about nutrition, hygiene, and healthy feeding practices.
