Feeding Centers Needed
- 1 in 4 children in Honduras suffer from malnutrition and 75% of rural populations such as the Lenca Indians live in extreme poverty.
- We respond to this need through our 4 feeding centers (3 of which are co-located in primary schools) and serve over 800 children each day. Our desire to continue to build more feeding centers in this region is great to help battle malnutrition and hunger
- When children do not have enough food to eat, or the food available to them lacks necessary nutrients–malnutrition, starvation and chronic health issues become a serious and potentially life-threatening reality.
