Half of all Indonesian children consume inadequate amounts of vitamins and minerals, according to the Center for Justice and Care for Society (PKPU) as reported in the Jakarta Globe, January 24. "Only 62.3 percent of Indonesian households consume sufficient amounts of iodized salt," said a PKPU spokesperson.
PKPU is partnering with a major dairy company and Dompet Dhuafa, an Islamic charity to make it possible for poorer families to buy nutritious food.
