Physical Development
Free healthcare does
not exist in Ecuador. Extreme poverty means that the families in our
programme are usually unable to afford the most basic medicines.
Juconi focuses on
nutrition, disease prevention and sex education to ensure the healthy physical
development of the children and families with whom we work.
We need sponsorship
to cover the cost of the family food baskets we deliver to help compensate
for the lost earnings of children who no longer work - and to improve the
nutritional content of the family diet. These packs, which are distributed
once a month, contain essential items such as soya, lentils, brown rice,
quinua, and oats, to reinforce the progress made in the nutrition
workshops.
