WHAT WE LEARNED
​Contrary to conventional wisdom, nutritional status does not improve with age. The extra demands on school-age children (to perform chores, for example, or walk long distances to school) create a need for energy that is much greater than that of younger children. Children who lack certain nutrients in their diet, or who suffer from protein-energy malnutrition, hunger, parasitic infections or other diseases, do not have the same potential for learning as healthy and well-nourished children.

NOURISHING NOT JUST FEEDING

WHAT WE SAW
These are just some images of children that we come across in our mission areas- hungry, malnourished kids. They are kids belonging to the poorest of poor communities in the country.

The latest survey of the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) revealed that almost 20% of Filipino children under 5 years old are underweight, while 30% are stunted or too small for their age. 

​We are deeply troubled to know that the consequences of hunger on these children include growth stunting, decreased learning capacity and a weakened immune system. Education & learning depends on good nutrition & health, these kids may NEVER reach the same potential for learning as healthy and well-nourished children.
