For 14 years, GRET has been fighting early childhood malnutrition in Madagascar by educating mothers and distributing infant flours through the hotelin-jazakely restaurants for babies. On September 26, 2012, the founding general assembly was held for the social company Nutri’zaza, created by GRET and four other shareholders to manage the chain of restaurants for babies.
