Our program are incremental and on going to attend and provide help for underprivileged children' needs.
There is a current sanitary and nutritional emergency in several communities throughout Argentina. The difficult task of providing critical medical services to these areas threatens the lives of an entire generation of children. This situation is aggravated by the lack of sanitary and education attention, the irregular or scarce government aid, and the precarious infrastructure located in places with difficult accesses due to their geography and climate. In addition, because many of the schools and areas do not have electricity and therefore no refrigerators, the variety of food is limited.
Children living with food insecurity lack a stable and reliable means of getting the meals they need. Communities under the poverty line are extremely vulnerable to hunger, unable to provide what children need to grow and learn. It is critical to understand that the food the underprivileged children receive at the schools through our projects is usually their only daily meal.
The children we work with live in villages where resources are limited and access to basic human needs such as drinkable water, electricity and medical care are not guaranteed. They walk barefoot 5 to 8 km to school and consider themselves lucky if they get one meal a day.
