Fight malnutrition in Bolivia

<p>The Foundation Bolivia Digna has been working for ten years to support vulnerable children and teenagers. For three years it has concentrated its efforts on two communities of Cochabamba, going there every day to provide extracurricular, informal education to more than a hundred children aged two to fifteen. Not only does it allow children to be children when they have so many responsibilities at home, it also gives them a safe place away from the streets or loneliness at home. Lately, we have been focusing on hygiene and nutrition in our activities.</p><p><img alt="20187184_861529490666599_837331619_o-1501272206" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/443455/20187184_861529490666599_837331619_o-1501272206.jpg"></p><p><strong>Malnutrition and its consequences</strong></p><p>Malnutrition can have an impact on children's lives, with a slower brain and physical development. Nutrient and vitamin deficiencies can be linked to diseases as well as poor academic performances.</p><p><strong>The solution: a healthy snack every day</strong></p><p>We want to create opportunities for these children by giving them a healthy snack which isn't included in their daily diet, e.g. cereals, fruit, proteins and milk, every day.</p><p><img alt="Banner_2_alimentos_10-1501166452" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/443164/BANNER_2_ALIMENTOS_10-1501166452.jpg"></p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.boliviadigna.org">Visit our website for more information</a></p>
