Approximately 100 words left (800 characters). 300 million children in developing countries have their mental and physical development irreversibly damaged by chronic malnutrition (hidden hunger). By addressing this we can enable children to reach their full potential. They will then be less affected by illness, better students and more productive individuals. They will earn and spend more, plus contribute more to society. This impact in turn will boost developing countries both socially and economically – and vitally, this will be sustainable, through the commercial dimension at its core.
