The effects of malnutrition have serious social, economic and physical repercussions for the people. This is why since 1993 we have been working on nutrition and nutritional security. Colombia, in spite of being a country rich in natural resources, has alarming malnutrition indicators due to poverty, forced displacement and inequality.
Our work covers all the population groups and we develop programs with specialized professionals directly in the affected communities.
AREAS OF ACTION:
• Ambulatory Nutritional Recovery for children between 0 and 5 years.
• School restaurants for children and young people between 5 and 18 years.
• Nutritional Complement for pregnant mothers, nursing babies, children and young people.
• Technological development and supply of nutritional complements.
