Nutrition Program Progress Report up to June 2023

Nutrition improvements

1. Since May 2022, our anti-anemia bakery has produced 417.000 iron-enriched bread rolls to feed +570 children and pregnant women from Huashcao, Canchapampa, Congar, Punyan, Amashca and Pariaqaqa villages
2. Milk and fish distribution have continued on a monthly basis, handing out 2 tons of frozen fish on each occasion. Till June 2023, almost 10 thousand milk products were also handed out by Mision Huascaran
3. The anti anemia bakery was full of innovative inspiration and two new iron rich bread rolls were created, much needed new flavours were added to fulfil the expectations of our treated population. We have found that a child´s taste buds are amongst the most demanding in the market.
4. The egg laying hen project at the Pariaqaqa school, produced over 7.000 free-range eggs up to June 2023. 70 school going children had an additional daily boiled egg for lunch. Each egg provides invaluable nutrients for the childrens physical development. As such, the project is improving the protein intake of the children, providing 6 grams of additional protein and all essential amino-acids.
5. Our nutrititionists participated in 7 healhcare campaigns, holding 53 nutritional advisory sessions.
6. Our bakers were trained in the Best Practices of Manufactoring (BPM), to segure a high quality and safe bread for our beneficiaries consuming the bread on a daily basis.

To continue expanding our reach, we require all the help you can give – utilizing the GlobalGiving platform.  The world continuously makes us face great challenges for our societies; and the children are the light and hope at the end of the tunnel for a bright future. 

 
We thank you for all the help you’ve given and will continue to give in the future.
