Malnutrition

According to the most recent estimate that Hunger Notes could find, more than 70 percent of malnourished children live in Asia, 26 percent in Africa and 4 percent in Latin America and the Caribbean. In many cases, the children get very sick usually because they had a malnourished mom. Mothers under-nutrition lead to 1 out of 6 infants born with low birth weight. This may cause learning disabilities, mental, retardation, poor health, blindness and premature death, but if they do survive that is the main reason why kids are left homeless since their parents do not want them any more.
