This podcast is an overview of malnutrition in children under 5 in Haiti. Protein Energy Malnutrition commonly presents in children in two forms, Marasmus and Kwashiorkor. These forms of undernutrition are rampant in Haiti and account for 58% of child deaths. It is such a major issue because of 3 underlying misconceptions related to infant formula, overfishing, and hygiene. Contributing to these misconceptions are the excessive emigration of educated individuals and a lack of government spending towards education. Danita’s Children provides a great model for how to keep educated individuals in Haiti and invest in the Haitian people and communities.
