Over 1.6 million children under the age of six in Central America are suffering from malnutrition.
The Mathile Institute for the Advancement of Human Nutrition believes every child has the right to reach their full potential, free from preventable impairments due to malnutrition.
What is malnutrition?
It is a lack of vitamins and minerals, limiting a child's potential in life and resulting in:
• Stunting: low height for a child's age
• Anemia: red blood cells are not sufficient to fulfill the physiologic needs of an individual
• Poor cognitive development: apathetic and incurious children
This causes irreversible damage in body and brain development.
Our mission:
