This Is How A Small Iron Fish Is Changing Many Lives

Do you know that 3,500 million people in the world are affected by iron deficiency?

In general, children and women in developing countries are victims of anemia. To address this issue, the concept of iron fish emerged. The "Lucky Iron Fish" project was developed by Canadian health workers in Cambodia in 2008.

Dr. Christopher Charles and his team discovered the revolutionary solution for iron deficiency in Cambodia, as it is the country where nearly half the population has iron deficiency. This project aimed to provide a cheap source of iron. Dr. Charles's three-inch iron fish weighs about 200 grams and provides 75% of the recommended daily intake of iron for adults and aims to dilute the problem of iron deficiency.

The project has shown surprising results in Cambodia. Let's find out some more interesting facts related to iron fish.
