THE NEED
With over 40,000 people living in Masatepe, Nicaragua, food insecurity is a daily reality, children being the most vulnerable.
There are over 1,000 preschool kids who are at high risk of not getting sufficient protein in their daily diet for their development.
THE SOLUTION
It’s simple. We provide eggs to 3 to 5 year olds who lack needed protein in their diets.
In partnership with OneEgg.org and local schools we ensure ongoing access to sufficient animal protein. Your support expands our established chicken farm to support all the preschool kids of Masatepe.
Childhood Development
A child who is chronically hungry does not thrive physically or intellectually and may suffer from serious long-term health issues. Our eggs deliver animal protein necessary for cognitive development in a young brain.
Class Attendance
Food insecurity and hunger can impact a child’s concentration, sleeping patterns, and ability to learn. Children who receive our eggs have marked impact on their class attendance and participation.
Spiritual Formation
Parents are motivated to put their kids in class because of the meal they receive. Missing class means missing a meal. For our faith based schools, this equates to a higher level of spiritual development.
