Today,
hunger and malnutrition persist for too many people in too
many countries. It causes death, blindness, deafness,
physical delay, low birth weight, disease, mental retardation
and behavioral dysfunctions. When children don’t get
the right fuel, they cannot be healthy in body – nor
in mind, nor in behavior.
Inadequate food, and the lack of food that contains the vitamins
and minerals vital for health, increase the risk of death
and disease among children and women, and damage economies
and livelihoods.
In developing countries, the lack of adequate vitamin A compromises
the immune systems of 40% of children under 5. Unable to adequately
resist measles, diarrhial and other common childhood diseases,
one million children die needlessly each year.
In spite of advances in the iodization of salt over the past
decade, each year 18 million infants are born mentally impaired.
To compound the problem, between 40% and 60% of children under
2 in the developing world face an increased risk of impaired
cognitive development as a result of iron deficiency. At the
same time, a lack of iron condemns adolescents and adults
to reduced energy levels, lower educational attainment and
poor productivity at work. The economic damage is also substantial—losses
of around 2% in national GDP are common.
Golden
Basin Companies (Hawaii, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong), is focused
on providing a solution to malnutrition.
Our flagship product BamBOOM!™,
made from a safe, organic, soil enriched, naturally available
species of bamboo ( what giant pandas eat), that quickly and
sustainably replicates, provides appropriate levels of micronutrients
such as iron, iodine, zinc, as well as vitamin A, vitamin
K, selenium, etc.

“Vitamin
and mineral deficiencies, which contribute to the deaths of
millions of children each year, can be easily prevented by
adding just a few key nutrients to staple foods,”
said David Fleming, Director of Global Health Strategies.
Working with partners around the globe, Golden Basin Companies
has the potential to significantly improve the lives of children
and their families, living on the edge, whose daily diet depends
in 1 bowl of rice.
The United Nations reports that about one-third of the global
population suffers from deficiencies in micronutrients such
as iron, zinc, and vitamin A. Even mild levels of
micronutrient malnutrition can damage cognitive and physical
development, lower disease resistance, and increase the likelihood
that young mothers die in childbirth.
Iron deficiency alone affects over 3.5 billion people
in the developing world and is responsible for 100,000 maternal
deaths during childbirth each year. Vitamin A deficiency causes
more than 500,000 children to go blind each year and is a
leading cause of child mortality.
The rural poor make up those most affected by malnutrition.
They are also those who are most difficult to reach through
help programs. By providing the technology and know how to
make bioavailable, safe, micro-nutrient infusions, we can
transform the health of our neediest people. |
For
Children Everywhere:
Golden Basin provides a remarkable opportunity
to bring together a readily available, cost efficient, sustainable
crop with high technology production methods to assure a future
of improved child health over the long term.
Adding healthy infusions to the bounty of a global agricultural
commodity is an idea whose time must come. It counteracts
the trend toward genetically modified food, pill-popping supplements,
and bio-fortification through breeding innovation –
all less than desirable innovations. |
We need to stop our children from developing pill popping
habits and help them know that food is their best source of
strength, health, productivity, and happiness.
We hold enormous potential in our hands that requires strong
partnerships to realize; Golden Basin is looking for you to
join us in this important work. |
Every time your child takes a bite of BamBOOM!™,
a starving child gets a bite at survival! Now
that’s a free donation! As we market our
product to those who can afford to eat well, profits from those
purchases sustain delivery of the same extract to the starving
children and families of the world.
