The Nutrition program designed to address childhood malnutrition through supplementation led to:

• Increase in the haemoglobin (Hb) levels in majority of children, resulting in over 350% children with iron deficiency shifting towards the normal category (compared to baseline)
• Program benefitted over 90,000 individuals including mothers, caregivers and 26,000 children who benefitted with significant improvement in levels of underweight, stunting and wasting

In its continuous effort towards creating a healthier nation and reinforcing its focus on addressing childhood malnutrition in the country, Amway India, one of the country’s FMCG Direct Selling companies, recently showcased the remarkable outcome of its nutrition program, Power of 5. In a span of two years, the program benefitted over 90,000 individuals including mothers, caregivers and 26,000 children through nutrition education. Out of these 26,000 children, 7,000 children were supplemented Nutrilite Little Bits™ – an innovative micronutrient supplement for providing daily essential vitamins and minerals to help manage micronutrient deficiency such as anaemia.

Amway India’s Power of 5 program benefitted over 90,000 individuals including mothers, caregivers and 26,000 children in the last two years

Amway India launched its globally acclaimed community-based program Power of 5 in 2018 aimed at sensitizing communities including mothers and caregivers of children under six years to improve their nutritional status. The impact report of the project in Haryana and West Bengal underlined a marked decline in the levels of underweight, stunting and wasting in the children including a significant increase in the hemoglobin (Hb) levels resulting in over 350% of children with iron deficiency shifting towards the normal category (compared to baseline).

Commenting on the campaign, Mr. Ajay Khanna, Chief Marketing Officer, Amway India, said, “In line with our vision of helping people live better, healthier lives, we have always ensured that every endeavour we undertake is a reflection of this vision. As one of the leaders in the health and wellness domain and in line with the Government of India’s National Nutrition Mission aimed at combating childhood malnutrition in India, we, at Amway India, are using our rich and deep experience of decades in nutrition to favourably impact the lives of young children through our Power of 5 program which is a true example of an impact-oriented nutrition program. With direct engagement with mothers and caregivers, the program contributes towards ensuring the last-mile delivery of key nutrition interventions, ensuring both greater awareness and proper planning and implementation of the programs at grass-roots levels. Among the 6000 children in Nuh, Haryana and 1000 children in Kolkata, West Bengal, who were administered Nutrilite Little Bits™, we are happy to note significant improvement in the malnutrition risk score which is found to have decreased by over 58% and 84% in the locations respectively. This has encouraged us to replicate the program in other states like Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, while we continue to work in our existing project locations.”

Key highlights

Program Info & Impact:

• As part of the program, 26000 children from Nuh district Haryana and Kolkata West Bengal were identified, and nutrition education imparted to the mothers and caregivers of these children for a period ranging from 12 to 24 months
• Of this, 7000 children i.e., 6000 from Nuh and 1000 from Kolkata, in the age group of 3yrs to 6yrs, who required close intervention from iron deficiency standpoint were extended with controlled administration of micronutrient supplement, Nutrilite Little Bits, for over six months. This comprehensive approach of nutrition education and supplementation showcased significant improvement in the children.
• The end line study showed astounding progress with increase in over 350% of children (compared to baseline), with iron deficiency shifting to the normal category with the average haemoglobin (Hb) levels increasing by 23% (from 8.89 g/dL to 10.93 g/dL) and 10% (from 10.54 g/dL to 11.55 g/dL) in Nuh and Kolkata, respectively
• The number of children in the severe stunting category decreased by a massive 52% in Nuh and the number of children in the severe wasting category decreased by 100% in Kolkata.

Amway’s Power of 5 essentially addresses nutrition needs during the first 1,000 days of a child’s life. To address nutrition inequities in children, the campaign offers holistic solutions to create awareness and implement educational interventions at the grassroot level. Currently, the program is operational in Sohna, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai benefitting over 2,64,000 people including 45,600 children.
