Help us fight malnutrition in Argentina

Our main challenge is to manage the undernourishment problem, mostly a consequence of the extreme poverty and low education, focusing on the whole problem. Local community remains fully committed to this objective and we continue working with Conin Pilar, Conin Tigre, Conin Vicente Lopez the Child Undernourishment Prevention and Human Promotion Center that is part of the “Red Conin” and follows its methodology to address the problem. Its aim is to take care of the attention, education and assistance of children between 0 to 5 years old with nutritional and social risk. We also work with pregnant women at risk of giving low birth weight children.

The strategies to address this problem are the following:

• Periodic pediatric and nutritionist control for children
• Literacy program for children 2 to 5 years old
• Follow-up through the work of social assistants, interviews at the center and home visits.
• Workshop to stimulate both mothers and babies up to 2 years old.
• Nutritional workshops and cooking classes.
• Health programm workshop
• Knitting, sewing, gardening , pottery.
• Pre-natal workshops
• Program: Complementary food assistance
• Program for pregnant women at risk: medical check-ups, psychological support and informative workshops.

Thanks for your contribution to this project, we could do a lot but we still need your help! Remember that nourishing time is now, if not we are going to be very late to help this children grow in normal health conditions. The achievements encouraged us to do more with Conin and the community, and there are many families that remain undernourished and need your help now!
