Today, under nutrition is the single greatest threat to child survival worldwide and the
underlying cause of nearly half of all child deaths. Evidence proves that good
nutrition in the first 1,000 days between pregnancy and a child’s second birthday,
(the critical “window of opportunity”), builds a strong immune system, ensures
healthy physical and intellectual development, and “supercharges” a child’s chances
of survival.

From isolated rural communities to overcrowded urban slums to refuge camps,
Ernest Bebenimibo Foundation (EBF) works to prevent and treat under nutrition
around the Niger Delta and Africa. We work in humanitarian emergencies and in
more stable contexts to improve the health and survival of the most vulnerable
children under all ages, as well as widows.
