Story

Adequate nutrition is vital for the health and survival of all individuals. HIV infection can lead to malnutrition, and a poor diet can speed the infection's progress. As HIV treatment becomes increasingly available critical questions are emerging about how well the drugs work in people who are short of food. We provide a healthy food and a nutritional shake to orphans, vulnerable children and parents/care givers who are either infected with HIV or are malnourished.

Impact

Good health and the ability to pass exams and succeed in school is these children's pathway out of poverty. Keeping parents and care-givers healthy is also vital for the long-term prospects of these children, so we also supply Nucleo to adults in need and often see a great improvement in their health.

Challenge

Malnourished children are more susceptible to sickness and missing school, they also find it harder to concentrate and succeed in their studies. Children from impoverished families often have only one meal a day, which is not enough. We supplement this with Nucleo, a nutrient-packed super-shake, specifically designed to boost general health and immunity. Nucleo also boosts the health of adults and children who are starting HIV treatment or having health problems.
