WaterAid’s media report Caught short reveals the worst places in the world for childhood stunting.
Globally, one child in every four suffers from stunted growth, which not only affects a child’s height but also impinges on their emotional, social and cognitive development. Stunting is the consequence of malnutrition in the first two years of a child’s life and is largely irreversible after that age.
The report aims to highlight that it’s not just a lack of food which causes malnutrition, but that a lack of access to a safe, private toilet and clean water plays a major role too.
