Mega Global’s Mega Bigay Sustansya Program is in its third year of malasakit and extending out to more Filipino families one meal at a time

The ultimate present that Filipinos can acquire is good health. With many youngsters suffering from malnutrition, it is critical for the community to band together to assist these children and for them to have a better future ahead. Mega Global Corporation, in collaboration with the Mega Tiu Lim Foundation, will hold the Mega Bigay Sustansya program for the third year in a row, in recognition of its contribution to the nation’s development. Malasakit is the company’s core value, and it’s reflected in the company’s health and nutrition program. Mega Bigay Sustansya intends to reaffirm the significance of nutrition to every Filipino family worldwide and provide assistance to those in need as part of its commitment to strengthen the country’s healthcare system. I’m so grateful that I was invited to attend their virtual meeting, where I acquired so much knowledge about this Mega Sustansya Program. Indeed it is such a great helping hand to fight malnutrition in our country. Hand in hand we will end this and will see a bright future especially to the young ones.

As it expands the program, Mega Global will be working in partnership with th Reach Out Feed Philippines, who will spearhead the preparation of the meals daily, deliver these house to house to each beneficiary and provide a nutritional assessment of all recipes used in the program, and will also analyze and evaluate the results of the program.

The program aims to support 870 children from various barangays across six  provinces through a 60-day nutrition program. These include Batangas, Navotas, Valenzuela, Samar, Surigao del Sur, and  Zamboanga. Beneficiaries are children aged 4-12 years old, who will receive two nutritious meals daily for 60 days. The daily meals will include at least one sardines meal, made using Mega Global’s vitamin- and nutrient-packed high quality sardines.

At the beginning and end of the program, the weight, height, and mid-arm circumference of the children will be taken to gauge their progress. To encourage parents to support the nutrition program for their children, Mega Global will provide incentives to select participants who fit the program’s criteria – biggest gainer, most improved, etc. 

To further ensure that the progress made is sustained, Mega Global will also be developing leave-behind materials containing affordable nutritious recipes made from ingredients that are easily accessible to the families. This will empower parents and the community with knowledge on how to prepare nutritious meals for the health and well-being of their children and loved ones.

“When we first launched this nutrition program two years ago, we saw how transformative it was for the beneficiaries, who not only saw an improvement in their weight, but also in their health and well-being. Inspired by their transformation, Mega Global decided to expand this program and make it sustainable by also educating the community on the importance of having good food and having good nutrition for the whole family,” said Marvin Tiu Lim, Chief Growth and Development Officer.

Mega Global Corporation lives up to its core value of malasakit in everything it does. Every decision made by the company is based on the philosophy of malasakit for all, from products to people to the larger community. This is brought to life once more at Mega Bigay Sustansya, which aims to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and allow them to reach their full potential.
