Why Through to 2?

Every child deserves the chance to grow, learn, play and dream about their future. Without the right nutrition, that childhood is stolen before it's even begun - leaving children sick, hungry and unable to grow.

Why is Through to 2 so important?

  • When a child is malnourished in their earliest years, the effects can last a lifetime. They are more likely to struggle at school, earn less as an adult, and miss out on opportunities that could have changed their future.

  • Your regular gift will be making a difference to mothers across the world who are most in need by providing the support needed to bring up happy and healthy babies
