Concept of CPF Growing Happiness Growing Futures Project

Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.
CPF believes that when children are and can feed themselves by learning how to produce their own food
and obtaining knowledge about healthy diet and nutrition,
they will have not only good health but also clear mind to play and learn new things,
which is called physical, mental, social and intellectual .
This is considered and essential element of
for children and youth,
the key drivers leading the country towards stability and progress.

Nutritional Status of Children and Youth

Children and youth around the world are facing nutritional problems including undernutrition that makes children become thinner and shorter than the growth standards or overnutrituin that causes obesity or overweight in children, due to economic, social, environmental, belief and cultural differences. These problems can affect the development of children who are the nation's future, in terms of physical, intellectual, emotional and social. Therefore, the joint collabouration to mitigate and solve the malnutrition issues in children and youth is considered an urgent agenda which id crucial to driving the country forward.
In the ASEAN region, the South East Asia Nutrition Survey (SEANUT 2012) report that
children aged 6 months - 12 years were facing malnutrition
including both a nutritional deficiency and an excessive intake of essential nutrients.
20% of them were overweight or considered obese
due to eating habits and receiving inappropriate amount of nutrients.
While 60-70% of them consumed less essential nutrients than the body requires.
Some children might receive an adequate amount of food but experiened imbalance diet.
*According to research on Thai children sample in 2012
