Half of India's children under the age of five are malnourished. Being undernourished affects not only physically, but also the mental development of the child. CINI takes a sustainable approach to tackling child malnutrition, focussing on spreading awareness and constructive intervention. This is the first clinic in India established for the sole purpose of treating malnourished children, and mothers were given guidance about what to feed their children. A lot of these mothers are hardly more than children themselves, and are very malnourished. Thakurpukur, Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
