EnglishThe area of nutrition execute the follow projects:
- Snack in all of the activities
- Comedor popular (community canteen)
Snack
For most families, to balance one’s diet is not something obvious, but rather an everyday fight and most of the times desperate. Children face under nourishment or malnourishment which impedes their self-development. Over the past years the situation worsened due largely to food price inflation. Parents cannot afford for basic foodstuffs and as a result, a potato soup becomes the only hot meal of the day. However, the root of the problem is also partly cultural. Typical dishes seldom include raw vegetables and juices are too heavily sweetened.
The aim to reach a balanced diet is hence one that crosses over all of our aforementioned projects. We therefore intend at the following goal:
- To provide the children and adolescents with a nutritive and balanced snack in all of our activities
Comedor popular (community canteen)
To strengthen this aim we planed various others projects. Our necessity which is of utmost priority is to implement a comedor popular (community canteen) to provide for nutritious lunches for the children and teenagers. Another proposal of project is to offer nutrition workshops for parents. Through permanent exchanges and dialogues we will build up a space offering new perspectives. As such we will influence for a change in the nutrition approach also within the kids homes.
