In France, children\u2019s poverty line is close to 20 per cent. 160 000 children are born poor with a higher risk to face nutritional imbalances related health problems (obesity, dietary deficiencies..etc). In fact, from his birth until reaching 2, a child experiments a unique developmental stage, during which his health capital takes shape as well as the one of the adult to be. However, buying adequate dairy baby food to nurture their children affects directly low-income households who are the first to suffer as far as their daily budget is concerned : all the nutrition advice they can get are not always adapted to their standard of living and their resources. These difficulties can lead to erratic and risky eating habits: unbalanced diets for pregnant women, a lower breastfeeding rate, inadequate food at an early age(e.g cow milk)<\/p>\n
In this context, several partners, among them French Red Cross, Bl\u00e9dina (Danone\u2019s operator in the infant\u2019s nutrition sector) and pediatrician\u2019s unions wanted to implement a joint program co-created with its recipients, the target beneficiaries families, and local partners, with two main aspects :<\/p>\n
The program is supervised by a joint team Bl\u00e9dina-Danone\/Malin<\/p>\n
Families can join the program through local partners via a computerized system . Registration enables them to use the vouchers they get, at the childcare facility office or by post.
\nThey receive 5 registered vouchers, between their children\u2019s 6months and 2 years with a 30% or 40% discount depending on the products (first infant milk, growing up milk, baby food jars, fruit compotes) with a total discount amount of 262 euros. Those vouchers cover 100 per cent of the baby\u2019s milk needs and 33% of a balanced diet.
\nPartnerships have been made also with registered supermarkets that accept the vouchers as payment options and with a reduction for the applicants.<\/p>\n
The Programme Malin scheme offers to low-income families encouragement information and advice on issues such as healthy eating, and child nutrition, with health professionals and local partners who play a key role<\/p>\n
Malin is available in an experimental phase in 4 areas \u00a0in France : Grenoble, Villefranche-sur-Sa\u00f4ne, and in the Loire Atlantique and Savoie regions.
