2024 Review: United to Fight Malnutrition

By Jose | Project Leader

We are proud to share the progress we’ve made in the fight against malnutrition in Southern Lima. Thanks to the support of our donors and partners, we have been able to make a real difference in the lives of children and their families.
Key Achievements in 2024
  • Improved Hemoglobin Levels: More than 90% of children identified with anemia or at risk showed significant health improvements. Only 6% remained with anemia.
  • Healthier babies: By working closely with pregnant women, we helped ensure healthier pregnancies and better birth outcomes. 100% of the pregnant mothers reached the full term of their pregnancy, and their babies were born with a healthy weight and size.
  • Community Reach Expanded:
    • More than 60 children under 36 months received quality care and support.
    • More than 90 women received health and nutritional support during their pregnancies.
    • More than 40 families benefited from our nutritional support, workshops, and home visits.
    • More than 280 weekly check-ins with families and 240 with pregnant women.
  • Better Nutritional practices: Education in nutrition has led more families to adopt better nutritional practices, such as: consuming iron-rich foods or supplements, attending regular health check-ups, following a healthy diet, engaging in age-appropriate physical activity, improving knowledge of healthy eating
  • Empowering Parents & Caregivers: We conducted training sessions to educate families on iron-rich diets and proper child nutrition.
Looking Ahead to 2025
This year, we aim to reach more communities, serve more families, and continue reducing malnutrition rates in Southern Lima. With your help, we can build a healthier future for children in need. That is why we have opened a new project for 2025. Here is the link: https://goto.gg/68982
Thank you for being an essential part of this mission. Together, we are building a healthier future for children in need! Your continued support will help us reach even more families in 2025.
