1 in 4 children under five is living in severe food poverty today. It is the leading cause behind half of all child deaths under five.
TMSG treats. TMSG recovers. TMSG saves — with 100% of your donation going directly to the child.
Malnutrition is a silent epidemic that claims the lives of children every few minutes. This crisis does not stem from war or natural disasters, but from a lack of access to basic nutritional needs. While early efforts to combat this issue began fourteen years ago in Africa, research revealed that the most severe cases of hunger were concentrated in Asia, specifically within Afghanistan and Pakistan.
In response to this global emergency, the Rotary Club of St. Catharines South (Canada) founded the Trust for Malnutrition and Stunted Growth (TMSG) in 2018. Our organization is dedicated to creating a sustainable and replicable model designed to protect the most vulnerable populations: children under five, pregnant women, and lactating mothers.
Our work is guided by a clear commitment to sustainable health and community empowerment.
Eradicating Malnutrition
To combat malnutrition by providing therapeutic food, empowering communities, and advocating for sustainable solutions.
A Healthier Future for All
A world where no child suffers from malnutrition, and every community has the tools to lead healthy, resilient lives
Your Trust, Our Priority
We are committed to full transparency, ensuring every dollar donated goes directly toward life saving interventions for malnourished children.
TMSG operates as a movement driven by data and volunteerism rather than a traditional NGO.
We prioritize transparency and direct impact through several key pillars:
We provide Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) that meets WHO and UNICEF standards.
We equip local facilities with training and resources for long term healthcare solutions.
By addressing sanitation, hygiene, and clean water access, we reduce infections that exacerbate malnutrition
We collaborate with entities such as UNICEF Pakistan, Allah Walay Trust, and Aga Khan University Hospital.
The United Nations International Multiple Micronutrient Antenatal Preparation (UNIMMAP) is a specialized multiple micronutrient supplement (MMS) formulated to meet the elevated nutritional requirements of women during pregnancy and the lactation period.
Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) is a life saving nutritional intervention designed specifically for the treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in children under the age of five. It is a medical grade, energy dense paste that allows for “Community Based Management,” meaning children can be treated at home rather than in a hospital.
Nutr MV is a specialized multivitamin formulation provided to children under the age of five to address “hidden hunger”—the deficiency of vital micronutrients that may not be visible as starvation but severely hinders growth.
Since 2020, TMSG has grown into a platform for measurable change. We do not pay for staff salaries or clinic rents, allowing us to maintain a zero administrative overhead model.
