In the last six months of 2016, the Foundation increased the coverage of 320 families which suffered the most because of nutrition and social vulnerability. We have helped babies, not only in the nutritional part by providing them food but also through the constant nutritional monitoring with the help of the students that belong to the faculty of medicine from the Sabana University. And the stimulation of babies with the help of the Colombian School of Rehabilitation, teaching the mothers and helping families which have members that suffer from psychomotor retardation.
40 pregnant mothers accessed the health service for prenatal care and had their babies in hospitals, 38 were born with adequate weight and size.
Through the following graphs you can see the changes that occurred throughout the year.
