FREE CHILD
MALNUTRITION TREATMENT IN Karachi
40% of Pakistan's children under five suffer from malnutrition. ZMT screens, treats, feeds, and monitors vulnerable children completely free of charge.
A CHILD'S HUNGER.
PAKISTAN'S CRISIS.
Malnutrition causes lifelong cognitive impairment, poor immunity, developmental delays, and preventable child mortality.
Many families cannot afford therapeutic feeding, fortified nutrition, or medical support.
ZMT's Malnutrition Program breaks this cycle through screening, treatment, feeding support, and caregiver education.
