Grow Great is a national nutrition campaign that aims to mobilise South Africa to realise a future where no child is denied the opportunity to reach their full potential as a result of the negative impact that stunting has on early childhood development in the first 1000 days of life. We believe in a future where all children\u2019s bodies and brains grow great, so that they grow up to be successful, healthy adults. Our mission is to mobilise action by the whole of the South African society to end stunting, starting with halving stunting by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n
