🌱 Give Hope. Nourish Futures.

In Guatemala, hunger quietly devastates childhoods long before a child learns to speak.

• Nearly 1 in every 2 children under five—46.5%—suffers from chronic malnutrition, the highest rate in Latin America and among the worst in the world.
• In rural and Indigenous areas, that number soars past 60%.
• Acute malnutrition, which causes wasting and can lead to death, is rising in regions already overwhelmed by poverty, food insecurity, and limited access to care.
• Only 49% of babies are exclusively breastfed in their first six months, leaving countless infants vulnerable to illness, delayed development, and early mortality.
• Many pregnant women receive no prenatal nutrition education or screening, increasing risks for premature birth, low birth weight, and maternal death.

This is more than a health crisis—it’s a developmental emergency. But with the right help at the right time, this tragic cycle can be broken.

What We Do

🔹 Targeted Nutrition: We provide locally appropriate supplements like Incaparina to children and mothers, based on regular health screenings conducted by trained local coordinators. These interventions are timely, personalized, and lifesaving.

🔹 Smart Technology: Through our digital platform, ShareMyHealth, we track each child’s growth and care, ensuring accurate data, transparency, and quick response when danger signs appear.

🔹 Education & Empowerment: We teach mothers how to breastfeed exclusively, prepare nourishing foods, and prevent illness. We also train them in skills that generate income—so health and hope can last.

🔹 Community Circles: Mothers support one another through networks of trust, learning, and shared responsibility. These circles foster resilience and reduce isolation.
