Grow Great Campaign

Grow Great is a campaign with the aim to galvanise South Africa towards a national commitment to achieving zero stunting by 2030.

Phiwe Dauwa from Grow Great shares why we support clear front-of-pack warning labels. Every parent deserves the truth about what’s in their child’s food because informed choices lead to healthier futures. #GrowGreat #ChewOnThis #ZeroStunting #FoodJustice #NutritionMatters

[Grow Great Campaign @growgreatza]

As we end Women’s Month we honour the women growing great futures for their families, their communities, and South Africa. At Grow Great, women aren’t just part of the story, they are the story.
