2025 Ninos de Guatemala Nutritional Program

The Vital Impact of Your Support

Thanks to the generosity of the GlobalGiving community, the students at Niños de Guatemala are reaching milestones that were once thought impossible. By addressing the most fundamental human need—consistent nutrition—we are removing the primary barrier to social and economic mobility for the children of Ciudad Vieja and San Lorenzo El Cubo.

Fueling Growth and Consistency

• Daily Nutritional Security: We are successfully serving over 500vmeals every single day. These meals are often the only reliable source of protein and vitamins our students receive.

• A Shift in Attendance: Our comprehensive meal program has led to a reduction in absenteeism. It is a simple but powerful truth: when children aren't burdened by the physical pain of hunger or the frequent illnesses caused by malnutrition, they are healthy enough to attend school consistently and remain focused on their lessons.

More Than Just a Meal: A Foundation for the Future

Our nutrition program doesn't just fill stomachs; it provides the essential foundation for cognitive development. We now serve more than 100,000 meals annually across our three schools. 

This program serves as a vital bridge, complementing the tireless efforts families make at home. By providing the specific essential nutrients—such as iron, zinc, and healthy fats—required for optimal brain development and physical growth, we ensure that a child's zip code does not determine their biological potential. Your contributions are transforming these schools into sanctuaries of health, where every child has the energy to dream, the strength to grow, and the focus to succeed.

Together, we are nourishing the leaders of Guatemala’s tomorrow.
