Kids lifting up other kids

Every time you ?like? and share this post, Johnson & Johnson will donate $1 (per social action), up to $500,000, via the Global Moms Relay to help improve the health and well-being of families worldwide in support of Shot@Life, UNFPA, Girl Up, UNICEF USA and Nothing But Nets.
UNICEF believes that all children have a right to survive, thrive and fulfill their potential. Malnutrition, however, can deny children that basic human right.
Every year, around 3 million children die of undernutrition. Some 16 million live with the crippling effects of its most extreme form severe acute malnutrition (SAM). For millions more, chronic malnutrition leads to stunting, an irreversible condition that can impede physical and cognitive development. There is good news:
UNICEF has the solution. It?s called Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF).
And UNICEF Kid Power has kids like 11-year-old Atesha who are working to get it to them using exercise to unlock funding for UNICEF to deliver RUTFs to kids in need.
Raised by a loving family to look out for others, Atesha now has a new channel for the things she cares about. ?What I wish were true for every family, everywhere would be that they could give their children what they need to be healthy. If I could help one child I would do everything in my power because I have been very lucky to grow up with everything I need.
I live with my grandma Kai. Me and my grandma do everything together...
