Fight against child malnutrition with Quaker Qrece
Guatemala It is one of the countries with the highest levels of child malnutrition in Latin America, with thousands of families facing development obstacles daily. This is a reality that strongly impacts not only its present, but also its future and, therefore, the future of the country.
Malnutrition during childhood can have negative effects on the rest of a person’s life, including delayed growth as well as health conditions. For this reason, promoting infant nutrition is of fundamental importance for your comprehensive well-being, cognitive development and school performance. A child in good nutrition may have better tools to seek opportunities that benefit himself and his family.
