Over the years on our projects around the world nutrition remains one of the most important aspects of our projects. We have seen children and their grades develop in direct relation to increased nutrition at school.
In Guatemala many children in Indigenous communities face serious difficulties on a daily basis. Adopting very adult roles at a young age many children will not attend school regularly due to their commitments in the home which may include collecting firewood and working in the fields to help out food on the table.
Food programs in schools increase the chance that children will attend school regularly and with increased nutrition, concentration and attendance levels they will earn better grades resulting in increased future opportunities.
Support for this project has helped us to keep the school meal program running in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala giving these amazing children more opportunities.
