In Madagascar, half of the less than 5 year old children suffer from malnutrition. Our objective is to make these efficient nutritional solutions accessible in the island and in the neighbouring countries. In addition to sales to public health sector and NGO’s, JB will also soon distribute nutritional supplements directly to the poorest households. Adapting techniques derived from social marketing experiences, this project aims to prevent malnutrition in young children.

Message from the director Karim Barday

"The best way I can express my commitment and my ambitions regarding the fight against malnutrition is by sharing my vision: malnutrition of Malagasy children and other children worldwide has been eradicated, JB became a partner of choice at both local and international levels.

In order to achieve this, partnership is key. I am proud to be a member of the PlumpyField network, share our experiences with our partners and benefit from theirs. Together, we can work better to improve access to enriched foods adapted for our malnourished children."
