Malnutrition is the underlying cause of one-third of 7.6 million deaths worldwide among children under age five. Millions more are affected physically and mentally from chronic malnutrition, according to UNICEF. In Malawi, home to 6.8 million children, malnutrition levels remain high and account for almost half of all child deaths. Extreme poverty is linked to extreme hunger with one in five Malawians living on less than USD $0.20 per day.
