Although China has made vast strides in eradicating poverty and hunger, some 120 million Chinese are undernourished. In rural areas, one in ten children is underweight, half are vitamin A-deficient and up to 80 % are anemic. The MDG-Fund is working in six of China's poorest counties, focusing on increased breastfeeding, better complementary foods, school-based interventions and iron supplementation for women of reproductive age.
