A Forest of Hope: Tackling Malnutrition in Guatemala
In a small Guatemalan village, a patch of barren land is transforming into a lush food forest, bursting with fruits, vegetables, and medicinal plants. This vibrant transformation is more than just greenery—it's a lifeline for families battling malnutrition. Through EnLevo’s innovative initiative, hope is taking root in the soil, one plant at a time.
Rural families face daily challenges of poverty and limited access to nutritious food, leaving children vulnerable to malnutrition. EnLevo partnered with villages to address this crisis, offering plants and training as part of the Sustainable Lives program. Villages commit land and time, working together to create food forests designed to nourish their communities and sustain their future.
The impact is profound. Women, often the caregivers, have become champions of the food forests, planting and maintaining diverse crops. These forests are not just a source of food; they’re a symbol of resilience, fostering unity and empowering families with skills to combat hunger. Each tree or plant planted represents progress toward better health and financial stability.
