    Every 10 seconds, a child dies from malnutrition, with 17 million children currently suffering and malnutrition contributing to over half of childhood deaths. Malnutrition is a lack of nutrients and can be caused by unbalanced diets, diseases like measles or malaria, or a lack of food or water. The first two years of a child's life are critical for preventing largely irreversible damage from malnutrition. The document proposes addressing malnutrition by developing and distributing a high-protein nutrition bar made from ingredients like oats, peanuts, almonds, and dried fruit. The bars would be sold using a "buy one, give one" model on a website to support as many malnourished children as possible.
