The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced a $25 million commitment to the UNICEF-led Child Nutrition Fund (CNF). This contribution will unlock an additional $25 million through the CNF Match Challenge, resulting in a total of $50 million. This funding will bolster the CNF's efforts to reach 320 million children and women annually by 2030 with vital nutrition interventions. The Church's support will specifically target nutrition programs in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Nigeria, the Philippines, and Sierra Leone, aiming to deliver evidence-based interventions and strengthen government systems for sustainable service provision to vulnerable women and children. Undernutrition remains a critical global issue, contributing to nearly half of all child deaths worldwide, with millions affected by stunting and wasting.
