Power-packed meals - Malaysia Star

RESEARCH has shown that one in three people in developing countries is adversely affected by vitamin and mineral deficiencies. That is why the Stop Hunger Now meal packs are designed not only to feed the hungry but also to help give malnourished individuals a healthier and better life.

Each meal bag contains highly nutritious dehydrated meals comprising rice, soy, vegetables, flavouring and 21 essential vitamins and minerals.

One meal bag provides six servings, and each bag comes with easy cooking instructions.

It costs US$0.25 (RM0.80) for each meal bag, so when you begin to fund your meal packaging event, all you need to do is raise this amount for each meal you package.

With your support, relief organisations such as Stop Hunger Now have the means to support ongoing school feeding programmes that sustain lifelong change â€" because, apart from providing a foundation for good health, hot meals served at school gives poverty-stricken parents an incentive to send their children to school and keep them there.

With a strong foundation in health and a basic education, at the very least, the cycle of poverty can begin to be broken by leveraging change in other vital areas such as continuing education, maternal health, childhood mortality, gender equality and combating HIV/AIDS. â€" Stop Hunger Now
