Nutre-Perú is a voluntary organization created and sustained by undergraduates, its main objective is to fight against malnutrition in children under 5 years old in peruvian rural communities through a program that looks up to create a local organization, constituted by mothers from the community, capable of identifying, evaluating and combating risk factors that endanger the nutrition of the local children. We are currently working in Catahuasi and 3 nearby communities located in the sierra of Perú, we’ve identified 4 problems inside this communities that affect children’s nutrition: lack of basic hygiene; lack of exclusive breastfeeding practice; imbalanced food proportion intake and family dynamics related problems (the latter has proved to be a strong predictor in children nutrition). After 2 years of working with the community of Catahuasi, we’ve measured a reduction of the prevalence of malnutrition by 7% and have built a trustful relationship with the community.
