Stunting (impaired growth development) in children is caused by an inadequate supply of essential nutrients, such as calcium, protein, vitamins and carbohydrates needed for healthy growth.
In August of 2021, the first trial of milk in schools program, sponsored by Kina Bank was implemented at Nonu Independent Institute of Education.
The program included daily distributions of an Ilimo milk stik to the students, class sessions on topics that helped the children learn about dairy cows, the milk they produce, the nutrients in milk, and the benefits of drinking milk.
