In many parts of the world, the stark reality is that children face hunger and malnutrition daily. In Honduras, while there’s an abundance of carbohydrates like fruits, rice, beans, and tortillas, protein-rich foods remain a luxury that only a few can afford. This imbalance not only leads to malnutrition but also contributes to health issues like obesity and Type-2 diabetes.

It’s heartbreaking to see children with round faces and light red hair, a stark contrast to the black and shiny hair they should naturally have here in Honduras. These are the visible signs of protein deficiency, and they’re all too common here.

Thanks to the generosity of our Canadian allies, we’ve been able to take significant steps towards addressing this issue. They’ve provided us with propane-fired, portable stoves for school use, ensuring that children have access to hot meals. More importantly, they’ve enabled us to make monthly food purchases to sustain this program.

Currently, we’re providing approximately 300 elementary school children with meals fortified with essential proteins, vitamins, and minerals. These meals are served 2 to 3 times a week, ensuring that these children receive the nourishment they so desperately need.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our Canadian friends and Pinnacle for their unwavering support. Together, we’re making strides in ensuring that no child goes without proper nourishment.
