From Unstable to Sustainable: One Family’s Future

For many families living in El Salvador, job opportunities are few and far between. And nearly 1 in 5 children, like Maritza, suffer from chronic malnutrition and weight loss.

Not long ago, Maritza and her parents faced an uncertain future. They relied on her father’s seasonal farm work for income and often worried about where their next meal would come from.

“Sometimes we only ate a tortilla with a little piece of cheese.”

Friends like you helped Maritza to thrive.

Maritza and her family receive food and essentials each month to help guarantee she doesn’t have to go to bed hungry. She and her family also raise chickens, and she beams with pride as she tends to them each afternoon.

Thanks to your support, our Lead Farmer training helps families improve their economic security. Families learn to create enough surplus to sell at local markets. Maritza’s family earns extra income thanks to the additional eggs and meat.

For children like Maritza, your compassion provides more than a meal. It helps parents build healthier lives for their children. Her mother, Epifanía, shares her gratitude for your support: 

“I feel very grateful and happy that this help will improve the life of my family.”

With your help, children around the world are free from malnutrition and other health problems. This helps them grow and thrive.
