Why in South Africa Children Need LNS-SQ
South Africa continues to face the challenge of childhood malnutrition. Despite progress in health programs, many children still lack access to nutrient-rich foods that are essential for growth and development.
- 1 in 4 children under 5 is stunted due to chronic malnutrition.
- Micronutrient deficiencies contribute to weakened immunity, poor school performance, and long-term health risks.
- Rural and low-income communities remain the most vulnerable.
To address this, nutrition experts recommend Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplements (LNS-SQ) — a proven, cost-effective solution for preventing malnutrition.
What is LNS-SQ?
LNS-SQ (Small-Quantity Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplement) is a ready-to-use fortified paste that provides the daily nutrients children need.
- Fortified with vitamins & minerals to close nutritional gaps.
- Ready-to-use: no cooking, no mixing, no refrigeration.
- Shelf life of 18–24 months even in hot climates.
- Endorsed by WHO & UNICEF as part of community-based nutrition programs.
In South Africa, LNS-SQ is especially important for early childhood feeding programs, maternal nutrition, and rural community interventions.
