As orphanages, vulnerable communities, and families struggle to provide all the nutritional needs for their children, HRI works to provide vital nutritional support. This support has shown to improve overall health, school enrollment, attendance, academic performance, and gender equity. In Guatemala, each child receives two hot meals a day at school and in Haiti each child receives three hot meals everyday. Additionally, all food is procured locally to support small-scale farmers, the local economy, as well as to encourage strong community involvement and investment in our work.
