MoU signed to address child malnutrition, stunted growth

Aiming to address child malnutrition and stunted growth by combining resources, expertise and outreach capabilities, the Trust for Malnutrition & Stunted Growth (TMSG) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Unicef on Tuesday.

The MoU was signed by TMSG Chairman Aziz Memon and Unicef Representative in Pakistan Abdullah A Fadil. Many top functionaries of both organisations were present on the occasion. Their joint statement read that with Unicef’s support, the TMSG can enhance its programmes in nutrition education, healthcare accessibility, and support for vulnerable mothers and children.

“Together, we aim to scale up our initiatives across underserved areas, reaching more communities with life-saving nutrition and health interventions. This MoU signifies a critical step toward a healthier future for every child in Pakistan.”

Talking to the media, Memon identified early marriage and inadequate spacing between children as the main causes of the problem, urging government authorities to enforce the laws already in place.

Expressing eagerness to expand the good work, he appealed to the media to help amplify this noble cause by spreading awareness and inspiring positive change for countless needy families.
