Malnutrition is a major problem in Africa, with an estimated 60 million children under the age of five suffering from it.

Lack of access to nutritious food is a major factor contributing to malnutrition in African children.

 Poverty is a major barrier to accessing nutritious food, as many families simply cannot afford it.

 Inadequate healthcare and sanitation also contribute to malnutrition, as children are more susceptible to illness and disease.

Introducing a variety of foods after six months is important to ensure children get a balanced diet.

 Iron-rich foods like meat, fish, and leafy greens are important for preventing anemia.

 Vitamin A-rich foods like sweet potatoes, carrots, and mangoes are important for eye health and immune function.

 Zinc-rich foods like beans, nuts, and whole grains are important for growth and development.
