View source for Feed & Heal 100 malnourished children in Guatemala

{{Project
|Description=Our project will provide nourishing food to children suffering from malnutrition, growth delays,  and poverty. We will teach mothers nutritional care and how to cook enriched foods. Impoverished communities will learn better farming, food production, and sanitation to aid their children's health.  Diets will be supplemented with milk, cereals, atoles, and multivitamins.  Every child will be monitored by home visits.

=Challenge=
Impoverished,  Mayan families living in rural communities suffer from "seasonal hunger periods".  A tortilla with salt,  and perhaps beans, are their one meal for the day.  8 of 10 children show signs of malnutrition, growth delays, or critical illness.  Mothers are also affected as the heart-breaking infant mortality rates climb.  Lack of access to nutritional food, clean drinking water, sanitation, education, and health care for generations is evident in the severe short stature of adults.

=Long-Term Impact=
Nourishing the bodies of 100 children will impact their health, cognitive development, vision, and readiness to learn in school. Empowering mothers and communities assure childrens' health becomes sustainable.  Through better community food production, sanitation, clean water, and health care, children will grow to be healthier, more productive adults who can become future leaders.
