A cruel enemy hovers over the children in rural areas of Nicaragua—hunger. Babies are being fed a mixture of water and sugar because they have no milk and lactating mothers are not producing enough. In a recent drought, the only food for many children was soup made of green bananas, salt and water.

The Tin Roof Foundation helped fund the building of three lunch halls where very poor children are served a balanced, hot meal. We are also establishing meal centers in dozens of remote mountain areas. The meal we provide may be the only meal these children receive that day.
