Solution
Programme Malin supports food-insecure families. This mission revolves around 3 strategic missions:
A counseling component that helps families take ownership of the various nutritional issues and put them into practice in their daily lives by following the Ministry of Health's recommendations.
A budget assistance: discount vouchers that promote access to adapted, quality products, selected by pediatricians, based on the recommendations of the National Nutrition Health Program.
A research and knowledge component to better understand families' needs and measure the usefulness and impact of the Malin Program.

Why we love it?
We all know the old adage "You are what you eat". So it's essential to eat well from an early age, whatever your household income. This is the mission that Programme Malin pursues with determination and ambition!
The nutrition of families and young children is a public health issue. Numerous studies show that prevention through appropriate and early nutrition, during the first 1,000 days of life, contributes to reducing the prevalence of these chronic non-transmissible diseases.
