Our Impact
Nearly half of the children in Guatemala under the age of 5 suffer from chronic malnutrition. At Bountiful Children we partner with local leaders to deliver targeted supplements and education to these children’s mothers, in the areas where it’s needed most. Here’s what we’ve accomplished so far, with help from people like you:
939
Health Screenings
31,448
Supplements Provided
196
Nutrition Trainings
865
Families Served
Our Approach
We use WHO standards to evaluate the health of children under the age of 5, pregnant women, and nursing mothers, allowing us to identify victims of malnutrition.
Once enrolled in our program, these children and mothers receive life-sustaining nutritional supplements, and access to vital health and nutrition education. Through consistent follow-up, we monitor their progress to ensure that every individual has the necessary means to survive and flourish.
How Donations Are Used
We seek to minimize our overhead costs so that your donation can more directly contribute to saving children from malnourishment.
Here’s how your your donations are used on a monthly basis:
- Acute Malnutrition35%
- Chronic Malnutrition26%
- Pregnant & Lactating Mothers23%
- At Risk of Malnutrition13%
- Healthy Children4%
Protecting Children is Our Priority
We believe that every child has the right to grow up safe, healthy, and free from harm. That’s why we have a comprehensive Child Protection Policy in place, aligned with international child rights standards and Guatemala’s national laws.
All of our staff, volunteers, partnets and visitors are trained and held accountable to strict codes of conduct. We enforce clear procedures of preventing, identifying, and responding to any from of abuse or exploitation.
Child protection is not optional—it is a shared responsability, woven into every level of our work. We strive to create nurturing environments where children are respected, valued, and heard.
To learn more, request a summary of our policy, or contact us for any related reason, email us at info@bountifulchildren.org.
Our Team
We rely on local coordinators to lead our efforts on the ground. These volunteers—many of them mothers themselves—are deeply rooted in their communities, bringing vital insight and trust to their work.
Since our organization started operations in Guatemala in 2008, our program has expanded to 13 communities. Each site is supported by a trained coordinator who monitors child growth, distributes supplements, and transitioned day-to-day operations to our local team, ensuring a more direct and sustainable impact in the fight against malnutrition.
