JOCOTILLO, GUATEMALA
The precious smile and bright eyes of a child remind us of all that is good in the world. It also hides a different concern of a very young mother who desperately tries to get food, shelter and medicine for her little ones. It is a daily struggle in rural farming villages like this one in Jocotillo, Guatemala. Nearly 60-80% of the population live in poverty and extreme poverty is increasing. 43% of children under five suffer chronic malnutrition and 40% of families live on less than a $1.50 per day. The next month of food is secure for this beautiful little girl and her mother and family as they and hundreds of others received food from Javesca Feeds. The story and the need continue. Thank you for your support.
