Mead Johnson China today revealed that the Mead Johnson public welfare foundation plans to donate love nutrition products with a market value of about 17million yuan through public welfare organizations such as the Guangdong poverty alleviation foundation to support and improve the nutritional needs of mothers and infants in need in many rural revitalization counties and cities. It is reported that the first batch of infant formula milk powder worth more than 3.45 million yuan has arrived in sanpai Town, Liannan Yao Autonomous County, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province.
The above donation plan is also new praise
Zhudingping, President of Mead Johnson China business group and honorary chairman of Mead Johnson public welfare foundation, pointed out that since its establishment in 1905, Mead Johnson has always been committed to “giving the baby the best start in his life”. “It is expected that this project will help rural children obtain perfect and sufficient nutrition protection in the first 1000 days of their lives, and protect their healthy and happy growth.” He said.
It is worth noting that, unlike other public welfare projects focusing on industries and talent team construction in the assisted counties and cities, Mead Johnson public welfare fund focuses on the special group of infants and young children this time for far-reaching reasons.
In Mead Johnson China’s view, people are an important factor in achieving rural revitalization, and “children are an important force in consolidating the long-term achievements of Rural Revitalization”. However, for children from poor families, their nutrition may not be adequately guaranteed in the critical infant stage that determines their life-long health.
以此次美赞臣公益基金会捐赠的连南县三排镇为例，三排镇卫生院在一份资料中提及，三排镇常住人口有2万多人，主要收入靠农副产品，因此一些生活较困难的家庭的婴幼儿、孕产妇存在营养不均衡的问题。
According to the data, in order to improve the nutritional status of infants and young children in difficult areas, the National Health Commission has launched the children’s nutrition improvement project many years ago, providing 1 package of nutrition package per day for infants and young children aged 6-24 months. The outline for the development of children in China (2021-2030) further mentioned that the growth retardation rate of children under the age of 5 should be controlled below 5%. All these show the determination and efforts of the state to ensure and improve the nutritional level of infants and young children from poor families.

The total amount of nutrition materials donated this time is up to 17million yuan, which is estimated to support the nutritional needs of more than 1000 infants and young children for one year.” Mead Johnson China introduced that the project can not only effectively reduce the burden of feeding children from poor families, but also improve the nutritional status of infants and young children from the source and reduce the incidence of nutritional imbalance.
