Challenge

Most of our beneficiary institutions help and support food-insecure children and find it difficult to get powdered milk to prepare their morning and afternoon snacks. As many of those beneficiary institutions are also educational facilities, it is extremely important for them to make sure that the children who attend are properly fed as adequate nutrition is essential to ensure development to their full potential. Unfortunately, powdered milk is not among the products that we usually receive

Solution

This project relieves our beneficiary institutions of the burden of using their money to buy powdered milk, which si a very expensive product in Uruguay and then gives them the chance to use their money resources to improve the nutritional value of the meals they serve.
