Grow Great, a campaign aimed at galvanizing South Africa towards achieving zero stunting by 2030 is recruiting for the programme lead of Flourish- its newly launched national social franchise of antenatal & postnatal classes, a communications officer for the wider campaign and a \ufb01nancial accountant.<\/p>\n

Stunting is a condition that arises from prolonged under-nutrition and it affects physical and brain development. It\u2019s de\ufb01ned as shortness in height for a child\u2019s age and it can only be diagnosed by comparing the child\u2019s measurements to standardized growth charts. 1 in 4 of South Africa\u2019s children under the age of \ufb01ve years old are stunted. Stunting robs young children from reaching their full potential. Stunted children on average perform worse at school than their non-stunted counterparts, are more likely to be unemployed as adults, are at higher risk of getting diseases like diabetes and hypertension and are vulnerable to being trapped in inter-generation- al cycles of poverty. This is unjust as stunting is completely preventable. Using data to mobilise policy makers, stories to inspire the public, communities of practice to support health practitioners and mom & baby classes to support parents, the Grow Great campaign seeks to galvanise South Africa towards a future where no child is unjustly denied the opportunity to reach their full potential.<\/p>\n
