Summary

We have worked for 17 years with the Wixarika Indigenous Community, delivering ONIformula to children with low weight and height, while providing nutritional followup, anemia treatment, and educational talks to improve dietary and hygiene habits. In August 2025 we launched ONImaterna, a multivitaminfortified complement with iron and folic acid designed to support mothers during pregnancy and lactation and to strengthen infants from the womb, promoting healthier early development.

Challenge

Children need a proper alimentation in their first 1000 days of life, this in order to have a correct cognitive and immune system development, if children fail to receive all the necessary nutrients, they will start to develop different problems such as susceptibility to illness, slower learning process and also will affect their height and cognitive capacity. The children of the Wixarika Community are especially vulnerable, this due to the economic instability of the region and inequality.

Solution

Part of the sustainable impact we want to potentialize in the future relies in the adoption of healthier nutritional habits, so that when people make dietary choices, they'll be able to make conscious and educated decisions about their consumption. By implementing our programs, we break the intergenerational cycle of diasdvantage that has affected rural communities for decades.

Long-Term Impact

The long-term impact we want to achieve is the creation of healthier food habits, were people start identifying when there is an alimentary decision to make, take the best option for their health, and through repetition make this kind of actions habits. With this and with our educational talks, we want to achieve a long-term solution to a problem that seems it is going to be still a challenge for rural communities, .
