A bottle containing 1000 vitamins. This can supply a child or an adult with a few years' worth of vitamins in a time where malnutrition only becomes more rampant. A recent study conducted in Guatemala by World Vision revealed that boys who received highly nutritious food supplements from birth to up to two years of age earn an estimated US$0.67 per hour more than more disadvantaged peers - an average wage increase of 46 per cent. According to the World Bank, eliminating childhood anemia in the worst-affected countries can result in a five to seven per cent increase in adult productivity, which in turn can nudge GDP up by two per cent. |
