The programme, initiated by Ceva Animal Health with a tagline of “Let’s embrace chicken and eggs to break the cycle of child stunting”, is a corporate social responsibility initiative to raise awareness about child stunting issues in Asian countries. Mutually working in partnership with Ceva Animal Health, QL has pledged to donate eggs to 207 kindergarten children of ages five and six from low-income families and indigenous communities. These children are from nine government schools in rural areas. The children will be receiving one egg daily for consumption in the school for six months. The project is supported by Malaysia Ministry of Health and Ministry of Rural Development.
