Raise a Nation.\u201d awareness campaign \u2014 part of a national effort to combat child stunting in South Africa. The event, which ran from Wednesday 29 October to Sunday 2 November, brought families, shoppers, and community members together to learn about the critical role of child nutrition in shaping the country\u2019s future.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a nation celebrated for its generosity and ubuntu, the reality remains stark: one in four South African children is growing up stunted \u2014 a condition caused by chronic undernutrition that permanently limits growth and brain development. Determined to change that, Jenny Martin, Managing Director of Compact Food Solutions, is leading the charge from her Cape Town base.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen we nourish a child, we fuel a future,\u201d says Martin. \u201cWe raise healthier, happier children who will one day raise families, communities, and our nation.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-understanding-the-challenge\">Understanding the challenge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the SADHS 2016\/2024 UNICEF report, 29% of South African children under five are stunted \u2014 often up to 15cm shorter than expected for their age, and with as much as 40% of brain development lost during their first 1 000 days of life. While irreversible, stunting is entirely preventable. CFS produces lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS-MQ) that meet WHO and UNICEF standards and distributes them through accredited NGOs to early childhood centres. These small sachets, added to a child\u2019s food, fill vital nutritional gaps between six and twenty-three months.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese sachets might look small, but their impact is enormous,\u201d says Martin. \u201cThey help children grow, learn, and thrive.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/WhatsAppImage2025_68702.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Young visitors eagerly checked how tall they\u2019ve grown.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-voices-from-shoppers\">Voices from shoppers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Canal Walk activation, shoppers were encouraged to interact with displays, learn about early nutrition, and pledge support through micro-donations. The event drew strong community engagement and heartfelt responses.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI had no idea stunting was this widespread,\u201d said Leigh-Anne Jacobs from Durbanville. \u201cIt\u2019s eye-opening \u2014 and I\u2019m proud to see a local company taking the lead.\u201d<br><br>\u201cAs a dad, this really struck a chord,\u201d added Sibusiso Dlamini from Claremont. \u201cIt reminded me that proper nutrition is not a luxury \u2014 it\u2019s a basic right.\u201d<br><br>Retired nurse Mary Humphreys from Milnerton said: \u201cSeeing people stop, listen, and care gives me hope. This is how real change begins \u2014 with awareness.\u201d<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leadership-with-purpose\">Leadership with purpose<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With over 25 years\u2019 experience in pharmaceuticals and consumer healthcare, Martin has always combined business expertise with a deep sense of purpose. Under her leadership, CFS has strengthened its local manufacturing footprint and built lasting partnerships with NGOs and community organisations.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a mother, I\u2019ve seen how nutrition shapes a child\u2019s potential,\u201d she says. \u201cAs a leader, I know how collective action shapes a nation. It\u2019s time to bring those truths together.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cRaise a Life. Raise a Nation.\u201d campaign will continue beyond National Children\u2019s Day, with CFS planning more community activations in 2025. \u201cEven a small act \u2014 visiting a stand, making a micro-donation, or simply spreading the word \u2014 helps give a child the start they deserve,\u201d says Martin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canal Walk Shopping Centre was abuzz recently as Compact Food Solutions (CFS) launched its \u201cRaise a Life.
