The Health and Dietary Supplement Association of the Philippines (HADSAP) has done its share over the years, to ensure that education on basic nutrition in the Philippines remains ongoing. This year however, HADSAP decided it was time to cascade that education to those who need it most, young mothers with young families at the grassroots level.
“Typically, kids between the ages one to five the are the most at risk of malnutrition. That’s where you start, if there are nutrient deficiencies early on in life, then you will have a harder time catching up later on so that’s why you address them during the first five years of life. So that’s why we targeted moms with young families in particular.” Shared HADSAP President Leni Olmedo, country manager of Amway Philippines.
