“There can be a lot of doubt and uncertainty when your child receives a diagnosis , so to get relate to other parents going through the same journey, there’s no judgement, it just means a lot.”

A child is considered stunted when they fall short of the expected height for their age - a clear sign of critical nutritional gaps.

The first 1,000 days of a child's life, often called the "golden period", are pivotal: by age two, 80% of the brain develops, laying the foundation for lifelong potential.

In these early years, access to healthcare, good nutrition, early learning, and a safe environment profoundly shapes a child's future.

Decades of caste discrimination have contributed to India having higher levels of child stunting rates than across Sub-Saharan Africa, new research has revealed.
