John, imagine being 10 years old and not knowing where your next meal is going to come from. That was Valentina’s reality.
But because of your support, Valentina and thousands of other children living in poverty and food insecurity in Peru no longer worry about hunger thanks to Las Ollitas project – a community effort to get nutritious food to kids.
This ambitious program provides important nutrition training, safe water kits and cooking tools to local community members. It helps support them while they fight back against hunger and change the lives of over 9,000 people in their communities – including 5,709 children just like Valentina.
Your generosity goes beyond regular, nutritious meals for Valentina. Since she started visiting and eating at La Ollita, she’s made friends with other kids in her community, and she’s even getting the energy she needs to start playing chess again with her dad – a new hobby she took on during the COVID pandemic.
Valentina is just one of countless other children whose lives have been completely changed by your generosity. This Thanksgiving, we’re inviting you to help children around the world by making a gift today.
