Nourishing Hearts: A Place for a Second Chance
By Hogar Bambi Venezuela
Adequate nutrition is fundamental for healthy growth and development, especially during early childhood. For the children sheltered by Hogar Bambi Venezuela, a balanced diet is even more crucial, as many arrive at our institution with significant malnutrition.
With the support of nutritionists and skilled cooks, we provide balanced, nutritious, and delicious meals that enhance their quality of life. Over these months:
- Our nutritionist designed tailored menus for each age group and, in many cases, individualized diets for children with specific dietary restrictions.
- We served more than 30,000 meals (breakfasts, snacks, lunches, and dinners), resulting in the recovery of weight and height for 10 children who arrived malnourished and improved health outcomes for children with gastrointestinal conditions.
We deeply appreciate the support that acknowledges the critical role of nutrition in the development of children and adolescents.

A project that is very dear to the staff, volunteers, and allies, Nurturing Tiny Hearts: A Place for a Second Chance tackles the issue of malnutrition in infants.
During the last quarter, we have continued implementing a targeted multivitamin plan, that attacks nutritional deficiencies in the smallest children in Hogar Bambi, contributing to an improvement in their overall health.
We also evaluated the nutritional levels of 11 children, and through a personalized meal plan, they are no longer suffering from low or mild undernourishment, as a result, their physical and mental development has improved significantly. However, there is still much work to be done, as each baby that arrives at Hogar Bambi is in a state of malnutrition, and our goal is to help them recover.

During the last quarter of the year, Hogar Bambi Venezuela has continued to advance the project "Nurturing Tiny Hearts: A Place for a Second Chance," aimed at providing hope for Venezuela's youth. Through the dedication of our technical team and the generosity of donors, we have been able to offer essential support for these vulnerable young lives. This includes the implementation of nurturing early stimulation programs designed to foster healthy development in a secure and caring environment, with a focus on sensory stimulation, motor skills development, and emotional well-being. The positive impact of these programs is evident in the progress of the babies under our care.
Upon admission, 13 out of 47 children (28%) were identified as suffering from underweight and short stature. By implementing a targeted multivitamin plan, the project has likely addressed nutritional deficiencies, contributing to an improvement in their overall health.
Furthermore, thanks to this project, we are able to continuously evaluate and monitor the children's health with the help of experts. All admitted children have undergone comprehensive health evaluations by our dedicated team, demonstrating a proactive approach to identifying and addressing potential health concerns.
The project has also implemented a specific multivitamin plan tailored to increase caloric intake and address the nutritional needs of children whose intake was below expected levels upon admission. This targeted approach exemplifies our commitment to providing personalized nutritional intervention for each child in our care.
These efforts reflect our ongoing dedication to nurturing and supporting the well-being of these young lives, and we are grateful for your continued support in making a positive impact on their futures.
