The campaign aims to ensure adequate nutrition for children in several countries in sub-Saharan Africa, and also ensures that their parents receive training in nutrition and hygiene through workshops and regular text messages sent to their mobile phones.
As Marta Marañón, director of Fundación Recover, explains, "With this campaign we want to contribute to reducing infant mortality, working in a preventive way so that many children have a better future".
The pilot project was carried out on 692 children in western and central Cameroon, and improved their nutritional status in more than a quarter of the cases. The Recover Foundation is currently developing the 'Nourishing Africa's Future' campaign in five health centres in Cameroon and one in Ivory Coast, serving nearly 2,000 children.
The Recover Foundation also supports African health professionals through the programme 'Telemedicine: health that connects', providing them with diagnostic advice by videoconference, with the help of Spanish paediatricians.
While the results are very positive, it should not be forgotten that 57 million children under the age of five still suffer from malnutrition in sub-Saharan Africa.
