Summary
Supporting Save the Children’s food security programs in Northern Nicaragua, you can help reduce the chronic malnutrition that children are facing.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Our program benefits young children and their families, with a special focus on families led by single mothers, throughout four municipalities of the Department of Chinandega. Save the Children's food security programs in Northwest Nicaragua has reduced chronic malnutrition from 23% to 10% since 2002.
How will this project solve this problem?
We organize farmers who produce high-yield, non-traditional crops into groups, improve agricultural techniques, enhance small businesses in rural communities and work with communities to ensure the sustainability of programming.
Potential Long Term Impact
Save the Children mobilizes communities and partner organizations to address the root causes of food insecurity, targeting the most vulnerable, usually young children and their mothers.
Project Message
Save the Children has mounted a vigorous and comprehensive effort to mitigate the impact of the food crisis on children and to prevent a more significant crisis for them in the coming year.
