Stolle spreads love and extends health to the food-scarce island of St. Martin
The Unique Island in the Caribbean: Saint Martin Saint Martin, a small island blessed by nature, boasts spectacular mountains, azure seas, and golden beaches, making it a sought-after destination that attracts numerous visitors each year. However, amidst the tranquility and beauty of this land, a significant issue cannot be ignored – food shortages. This predicament has caused great distress to the island's residents, leading to challenges such as malnutrition and food scarcity. Issues of Malnutrition and Food Scarcity In the global context of food shortages, small island nations are often more vulnerable. According to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), approximately 7% of the population in Saint Martin is estimated to be in a state of malnutrition. Economic development lagging behind has resulted in lower living standards for the people, coupled with high food prices on the island compared to neighboring countries. This situation makes it difficult for low-income families to afford healthy food choices. Additionally, the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism industry in Saint Martin, causing economic slowdown and unemployment, may exacerbate the issue of malnutrition. The problem of food scarcity stems from the island's unique environment and climate restrictions. Firstly, Saint Martin is a small island with a remote geographical location and a lack of land and natural resources. Most land is used for urban development and tourism, limiting agricultural space. The economy heavily relies on tourism and imported trade, making the island extremely dependent on food and goods imported from other countries. Secondly, the region is frequently affected by hurricanes, tropical storms, and other natural disasters, leading to severe damage to farmlands and ranches. Port closures and transportation interruptions further impact the transport and supply of food. Since most food needs to be imported, residents may face food shortages when external supply chains are disrupted. Thirdly, as Saint Martin has a tropical climate, many crops are susceptible to pests. Combined with limited agricultural crop varieties due to climate conditions, it becomes challenging to cultivate a diverse range of crops such as vegetables, fruits, and grains on the island. Assistance Provided by Stolle When difficulties arise, there are always those who extend a helping hand, bringing hope and warmth. Therefore, we aim to contribute by donating Stolle milk powder to the local Tzu Chi Foundation, helping the people of Saint Martin overcome their challenges. With the power of Stolle, we aspire to illuminate the lives of others, creating a positive cycle for the world. Stolle milk powder is produced by the New Zealand company Fonterra using patented technology. It utilizes a unique method of raising immune cows, resulting in exceptional nutritional value. In addition to common nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, and protein, it contains special health factors like immunoglobulins and lactoferrin, enhancing the body's immune system and promoting healthy growth. Its good taste and easy digestibility make it suitable for residents or children in Saint Martin facing malnutrition or food scarcity issues, contributing to improving their overall health. For Stolle, promoting people's health has always been our concern, and we are committed to fulfilling our social responsibility. We hope to help those in need, and this time, we aim to make a positive impact on the health of the people of Saint Martin. We trust that our actions can bring more goodness to the world.
