The Problem |
|||||
|
Malnutrition is an achingly constant problem in much of Nicaragua. Families struggle to feed themselves one nutritious meal a day. As a result, children lose focus in the classroom or do not attend school at all. 2 of 3 children in the Chinandega do not finish 6th grade. |
||||||
| OUR Approach | ||||||
|
Amigos for Christ works with the Nicaraguan Ministry of Education to build primary schools and employ qualified and motivated teachers. After 1 year, the Ministry of Education incorporates these schools into the national education system and assumes financial responsibility for the school. We also start feeding centers at these schools as an additional incentive to come to school and at the same time offer valuable nourishment. The attendance rate increases dramatically when children and parents know a good meal is waiting at the end of classes. |

|
The Plan |
||||||
| Amigos for Christ operates feeding centers in Santa Matilde, Villa Catalina and Nueva Salvacion communities that serve 2 healthy meals a day and vitamins to nearly 800 children who attend the schools. Parents volunteer to cook and serve the food, thereby becoming an important part of the operation and helping to ensure its success. | ||||||
