Bringing Health and Hope to the Children of the 20/30 Window through Nutrition 
(India, Pakistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar and Asia) is the FIRST collaboration project between Jeevan Frontiers and Manna Moovers and Groovers with Bangladesh as the first country to receive such assistance.

According to UNICEF study on child poverty and disparities in Bangladesh released on 25 November 2009, Dhaka

33 million children in Bangladesh - about half of all Bangladeshi children - are living in poverty while about one in four children is deprived of at least four basic needs among the following: food, education, health, information, shelter, water and sanitation.

According to this new study, 64 per cent of children in Bangladesh are deprived of sanitation, 52 per cent are deprived of information, 57 per cent are deprived of nutrition, 41 per cent are deprived of shelter, 16 per cent are deprived of health, and 8 per cent are deprived of education. 

Challenges in Children

Bangladesh is one of the poorest countries in the world. Over 40 million people in Bangladesh live below the poverty line.  Due to economic distress condition Bangladesh people especially children are badly affected by malnutrition. Children's malnutrition is widespread – some 50 percent of children under age 5 are malnourished. 

Numbers at a Glance

•               Some 45 percent of the population lives below the poverty line;

•               The infant mortality rate in Bangladesh is 41 deaths per 1,000 live births

•               One-third of the population is under 15 years of age.

Jeevan Frontiers is a network of like-minded people, united by a heart of compassion with a common vision for under developed people groups. In Bangladesh we do our part to help families with under nourished children through supplemented nutrition. This will be our FIRST PROJECT targeting children of selected improvished families with Manna•Bears®.

Why Manna•Bears® and not Basic Food?

Current food lacks many of the nutrients young children need. According to the international relief organization, Doctors Without Borders, food is not enough. In fact, these fortified, blended flours no longer meet the minimum nutritional criteria for young children set by experts at the World Health Organization. In other words, filling a child's stomach not only fails to correct the problem, but it serves as only a temporary fix to a much bigger problem.

Children suffering from malnutrition need more nutrient-dense foods to get the proper nutrients their bodies required. Manna•Bears®–the latest product innovation for children from Mannatech—has specially formulated glyconutritional blend with 12 different dehydrated fruits and vegetables which could provide the basic nutritional goodness for children. Everything is packed into a colorful, wholesome pectin base, derived from natural sources.

Jeevan Frontiers believes that children are our hope for tomorrow. If they are not given care for now, we may lose the next generation.

How Can You Partner with Jeevan Frontiers

You can sponsor a family by purchasing 1 to 4 bottles of Manna•Bears®.  Jeevan Frontiers commits to deliver the Manna•Bears® regularly to the selected families for the duration of sponsorship. All sponsors will be updated via email regularly.

Jeevan Frontiers believes in providing a child with 1 bottle of Manna Bear monthly, for the duration of 6 months. This will enable the child to improve in health in addition to their basic diet.
