Today, undernutrition is the single greatest threat to child survival worldwide and the underlying cause of nearly half of all child deaths. Evidence proves that good nutrition in the first 1,000 days between pregnancy and a child's second birthday - the critical window of opportunity - builds a strong immune system, ensures healthy physical and intellectual development, and "supercharges" a child's chances of survival.

Friends of Hope's expertise in preventing and treating undernutrition is internationally renowned, thanks to our 10 years of operational experience in areas of latin america and the caribbean where hunger is most severe and entrenched. We have contributed to the development of revolutionary nutrition products and conducted field testing of treatment protocols that are now international best practice.

From isolated rural communities to overcrowded urban slums to refugee camps, Friends of Hope works to prevent and treat undernutrition in more than 26 countries in latin america and the caribbean. We work in humanitarian emergencies and in more stable contexts to improve the health and survival of the most vulnerable children under the age of five, as well as pregnant women and nursing mothers. In 2019, our nutrition, health, and care programs reached more than 5.4 million people in need in latin america and the caribbean.

We save the lives of children and their families. We will never give up. Until the world is free from malnutrition. Please donate today.
