Dear Friends,
Every child matters.
In the past year alone, we have been able to grow our program and we have offered preventative nutrition services to over 500 children in 6 rural communities in Guatemala, as well as intensive in-home nutrition classes to more than 50 mothers. We have also pioneered the notion of recuperative chronic malnutrition in a new program with more than 100 children enrolled.
Without these services, malnourished children will be slower to walk, to talk, and to read. They will have difficulty focusing in school, resulting in a much lower life-long income earning potential. These children will never reach the full potential that so many of us take for granted in our own children.
Your continued support means that we can unlock that potential and provide healthy and happy futures for children and mothers. It means that we can improve their academic performance, economic opportunity, resiliency, and social relationships, so that they can lead the lives that they want. By providing education and supplementation to children between the ages of 0-2, we are making early investments in their futures.
Guatemala suffers from the highest rate of chronic malnutrition in the hemisphere, where babies do not have adequate nutrition to grow and thrive. Together, we can change that.
