1 in 3 infants in Chuachua, Peru dies due to the mix of malnutrition, altitude, and cold weather abundant in the area. Harsh weather conditions prohibit local families like Bernabe and Rosa's from growing the diverse crops their children need to grow healthy and strong.

Thankfully, YOU helped install dozens of greenhouses in this community in 2020 - and the impact is being felt today! Now Bernabe, Rosa, their children, and their neighbors feast on fresh vegetables like lettuce and radishes.

Your kindness also sent a nurse to the remote village to conduct health screenings. That’s how Bernabe and Rosa learned that one of their daughters had anemia. With medicine, a better diet, and good hygiene, today their daughter is on the mend!

Márcia, a 32-year-old single mom, struggled to find assistance for her triplets who were born prematurely and weighed far less than the average healthy weight of 15 lbs. Luckily, a concerned neighbor invited Márcia to our weekly nutrition talks provided by our partner in Mozambique. 🇲🇿

YOUR generous giving now supplies the triplets with powdered milk and ground nuts that add much-needed protein to their diets. YOU also provided baby bottles and a pot in which to sterilize them. Márcia's girls are finally catching up to their peers!

Heart disease and diabetes go hand in hand, at Esperança we're preventing both. ❤️

At Aeroterra Senior Village residents are taking preventative measures toward #hearthealth by participating in Esperança's DEEP program. Lourdes (far left), joined our class to reduce her risk of developing diabetes, which runs in her family. As Lourdes progressed through the program, she was inspired to increase time dedicated to walking and preparing healthy meals. Today, she feels more energy throughout the day and is confident that she will be the first in her family to live diabetes-free throughout retirement.
