The Institute continues to support El Comedor, a Peruvian organization dedicated to combating childhood anemia, malnutrition, and internal parasites through both direct aid and sustainable educational initiatives. In 2019 El Comedor served 3160 meals to children and taught mothers to cook meals high in protein, calories, and iron using sustainable, affordable, and easily sourced ingredients such as sangrecita (chicken blood).
El Comedor has helped many mothers bring their children’s hemoglobin up to healthy levels, creating immediate, sustainable change in their lives. El Comedor is a wonderful example of how a small program can help create lasting change in the life of a community. We are proud to be able to support El Comedor and excited to see what they do next.
