Feeding Children and Families

by SARAHUARO, A.C.

Summary

Sarahuaro, A.C. has provided thousands of meals to elementary school-age children who would otherwise have gone hungry at school. We believe in the long-term effects of education. Providing a healthy meal is a simple way to help strengthen a child's chances of having a successful life. "La Cocina de los Ninos Sarahuaro" addresses this health problem based on a long history of feeding children living in poverty, thus applying our experience to the school environment.

Challenge

1.5 million Mexican children suffer from malnutrition and 2 million children under the age of five are anemic. An overwhelming percentage of children in the country are not provided with a healthy foundation from which to grow, succeed, and overcome poverty.

Long-Term Impact

Since the start of COVID the lockdown in March, we expanded our feeding program to entire families- we have fed 180 families with an estimated 350 children.
