The Pan y Panela Foundation is a non-profit organization aimed at contributing to the needs of food, clothing and comprehensive care in vulnerable communities in the city of Barranquilla and/or the department of Atlantico. Likewise, it seeks to stimulate cultural and recreational activities that aim to improve the quality of life of people who are in a condition of poverty and/or extreme poverty through the creation of projects, programs and alliances with public and private entities.
The main challenge is the high rate of pregnant adolescent mothers with little knowledge of the importance of adequate nutrition at the time a baby is being gestated. Despite all the campaigns carried out regarding the prevention of early pregnancy, we find many cases of pregnant mothers with low weight, which leads us to births of new generations with nutritional problems from their gestation.
The pan y panela foundation currently provides nutritional support to more than 100 beneficiaries, we hold entrepreneurship training sessions so that tomorrow these mothers are self-sustaining, talks on the importance of good nutrition for proper breastfeeding. Through alliances we seek to generate more mothers to eradicate chronic malnutrition in early childhood, in addition to carrying out activities that contribute to the general well-being of the family nucleus.
The long-term impact will be reflected in the evolution and improvement of the nutrition of children and expectant mothers belonging to the program of the Pan y Panela Foundation. They will benefit from acquiring comprehensive care during pregnancy and until their baby turns 2 years old and access to food security. thus contributing to their proper growth and development.
