Half of the world’s children suffering from malnutrition are found in India! In war-torn Eritrea, the infant mortality rate is at 45 per 1000 and in India it is 63 per 1000. In Botswana maternal mortality rate is at 100 per 100,000 and in India it reaches 400 per 100,000. 47% of Indian children under 3 are under-nourished.
