Malnutrition in the Philippines

Many of the children in our program in the Philippines are malnourished. We hope to fund a daily lunch program that will ensure all of the children one healthy meal each day. Donations to the food budget are always welcome.

Meanwhile, we try attempt to supply the families of the most seriously malnourished children with daily vitamins and nutrient rich formula prescribed by a local pediatrician. It's hard to only help a small handful of children with these extra nutrients, but we work within our budget to make the most impact we can.
