Project Report | Jun 29, 2026
We feed with the heart.

By LAURA ZUMBA | COORDINADORA HOGAR DE ANGELES DE OSSO

During the April–June 2026 quarter, the Hearts Of Gold Foundation ensured the provision of food supplies for 14 institutionalized individuals with disabilities residing at the Home of Angels Project of the OSSO Foundation. This contribution has been a fundamental pillar in supporting the nutritional needs of the population served, ensuring the intake of the macro- and micronutrients required to optimize their health status, promote proper metabolic balance, and maintain their overall well-being through a healthy, varied, and nutritionally balanced diet.

The dietary intervention plan was tailored according to the beneficiaries' physiological needs and feeding methods:

  • Oral Diet Therapy (Standard): Nutritional prescription and coverage for 10 beneficiaries through complete, individualized diets.
  • Enteral Nutrition (Specialized): Specialized nutritional support for 4 children who rely on a gastrostomy feeding tube (G-tube) for nutrition.

To optimize digestibility, maintain stable blood glucose levels, and meet the children's total energy requirements, the meal plan was structured into five daily feedings:

  1. Breakfast
  2. Morning snack
  3. Lunch
  4. Afternoon snack
  5. Dinner

This nutritional schedule supports adequate energy intake throughout the day while promoting optimal growth, health, and overall well-being for each beneficiary.
