Amway India, in partnership with the Nourishing Schools Foundation, hosted interactive workshops on child malnutrition and hygiene for students at a low-cost private school in the capital on Thursday, advancing the fight against childhood malnutrition.

The event, under Amway’s Power of 5 programme, involved volunteers preparing healthy meals like fruit salads and sprout chaat with the children, followed by painting sessions, drawing contests and role-playing exercises focused on combating child malnutrition through sanitation and balanced diets.

“Every child deserves the foundation of good nutrition and the opportunity to grow strong and healthy for a better tomorrow,” Rajneesh Chopra, managing director of Amway India, said in a statement.

He highlighted government initiatives like Poshan Abhiyaan and Mission Saksham Anganwadi, adding that the company aims to embed practical education against child malnutrition early through such activities.

Archana Sinha, co-founder of Nourishing Schools Foundation, described the sessions as “fun and impactful,” saying they help children internalise health messages.

“Our shared goal is to empower school children with knowledge that can transform their fight against child malnutrition and future,” she said.

Launched in 2018, Power of 5 has reached more than 730,000 people across India, including over 100,000 children, by promoting awareness of micronutrients and healthy habits to tackle childhood malnutrition.

Amway India’s corporate social responsibility efforts also include women’s empowerment programmes that have trained over 4,000 underprivileged women in skills for self-employment, and community projects such as water conservation in seven villages and five telemedicine centres serving 35,000 patients annually.

The company has received awards including the Golden Peacock CSR Award and CSR Health Impact Award for its initiatives against child malnutrition since 2018.
