Event Description:
There is 1 in every 5 children in Malaysia suffers from growth stunting. Stunting does not only cause negative impacts on physical growth but also their cognitive development.
Hence, stunted children are more likely to perform weaker at schools and at work when they grow up and this, unfortunately, perpetuates the problem thus continues the cycle in their next generation. The issue seems too big to be tackled, but the good news is that we do not necessarily need to improve their socioeconomic status before we can help with the issue.
Studies have shown that, essential amino acids (building blocks of protein) play a vital role and sufficient consumption can alleviate stunting. These essential amino acids cannot be generated by our bodies, hence must come from food.
Chicken and eggs are rich in these essential amino acids and most importantly, they are relatively affordable (especially eggs)! Other than being a great protein source, they also contain numerous nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Therefore they are one of the best food sources to combat the issue of child stunting.
In this event, we would like to raise public awareness on this issue while promote the importance and affordability of chicken and eggs in children’s growth and development.
There will be a stage and 6 stalls for poultry food sampling consisted of local producers, concurrently to promote their products and company image in the young generation market. We are grateful if poultry company could kindly sponsor and take part in one of poultry sampling stall (Please refer to the sponsorship package on the reply slip).
