Sustainable Food for Malnourished Children

Did you know that Guatemala has the fourth-highest rate of chronic malnutrition in the world? Recently, Compassion Guatemala has seen a shocking number of children entering their programs with chronic malnutrition. This gift includes an 18-month training that teaches 400 families how to grow and prepare healthy food sustainably. It also provides access to local seed banks, agricultural plots and grain storage, as well as instructions for building their own fruit gardens so families have comprehensive resources to raise healthy and thriving children.
