More than 2.500.000 Muffins supplied
We have reached the number of more than 2.500.000 baked Magic Muffins with which we have supported thousands of needy children. What a great achievement! Many thanks to all our generous donors. Without your help this would not have been possible. Read on to find out why this project is so important.
Adequate nutrition is a fundamental human right and indispensable in order to exploit the full physical and mental capacity of a human being. Malnutrition not only affects the growth and mental and physical development of children, but also increases their susceptibility to disease and dysfunction. Improving the nutritional situation of malnourished population groups is therefore not only a human obligation, but also a sustainable economic investment.
Nutrition undersupply has serious health consequences
Studies at schools in areas with particularly high unemployment in South Africa have shown the following: As part of a school meal, the children were provided with a warm meal five times a week. Very few children were underweight from then on, but had extremely low levels of vitamin A, iodine and iron in their blood.
This undersupply of minerals, trace elements and vitamins has far-reaching health consequences, albeit initially invisible. It's called "hidden hunger".
Here, however, one already assumes positive conditions, as the children get something to eat at least once a day. This is by no means the case in many regions of the Cape of Good Hope.
We've seen children who haven't eaten for days. How can children learn with an empty stomach? How is the brain supposed to develop properly?
Our "Magic Muffin" proved to be a possible solution to this problem in many ways
Desired by the children as a tasty snack, its distribution led to a significant increase in cognitive abilities within a very short time and a drastic decline in absenteeism from school or créche due to respiratory and diarrhoeal diseases.
Improved Recipe
It was time to review and improve the recipe with the great support of different organizations. We are now distributing our new "Magic Muffin". You can find the new formula here.
