Did you know?

Malnutrition continues to be a major concern in India, with NFHS-5 (2019–21) data showing that 35.5% of children under five are stunted, 32.1% are underweight, and 19.3% suffer from wasting. These figures reflect both chronic and acute undernutrition, leaving millions of children vulnerable to poor health and developmental delays.

Why CLHIV are at higher risk?

For a child living with HIV, every day is a fight against more than the virus. They face:

• 1. Poor appetite and frequent infections
• 2. Harsh side effects of life-saving medicines
• 3. Hunger from poverty and food insecurity
• 4. Stigma, discrimination, and neglect
• 5. The devastating loss of one or both parents

Together, these factors make them far more vulnerable to malnutrition than other children.

Why Nutrition is vital for CLHIV

Providing proper nutrition means giving them a chance to grow, learn, and thrive. Nutritional support helps:

• 1. Strengthen Immunity – Protecting them from frequent infections.
• 2. Support Healthy Growth – Ensuring proper height, weight, and development.
