Sumando Manos Foundatoin. Campaign: "For a child breakfast"

By Guillermo Donaire | President

For a child breakfast 1

Dear Friends, since 2010, the campaign provides food for rural schools in Chaco and Misiones in a monthly basis.

The food that underprivileged children receive at the school usually is their only daily meal. Communities under the poverty line are extremely vulnerable to hunger, and they can’t provide what children need to grow and learn.

Children living with food insecurity lack a stable, reliable means of getting the meals they need.

Reduce malnutrition related to lack of food (quantity and quality), lack of higiene and nutrition education, sickness and risk development is the objective of this campaign that along with other projects run by our organization to provide drinking water and pediatric and dental services has dramatically decreased extreme cases and infant mortality due to malnutrition in the places where we arrived with help.

During last quarter 2015 and the first quarter 2016 we have included 2 addition schools located in Pampa del Indio (Chaco).

This campaign actually covers 7 rural schools providing food for around 600 children from Qom and Wichi’s communities.
