In Haiti many children under age five are suffering from malnutrition, especially since the earthquake of January 2010. While school-aged children in Haiti receive one meal each day, there are no supplemental meals for children who are not in school. To meet this urgent need, PARTNERS IN DEVELOPMENT has initiated a Children’s Feeding Program.

With the help of local medical staff, malnourished children can begin receiving their first supply of nutritional supplements. They then attend the food program Monday through Friday where they receive a well-balanced meal with protein. After only one month in the program, nearly 100% of children are no longer in danger of being malnourished.
