The stunted growth shown in these kids is the highest in Latin America and the Caribbean. That is one of the most dire food situations in the world. Guatemala is ranked sixth in the world for child malnutrition. (Source: UNICEF)

Fighting Malnutrition with Kitchens
Some 450 families in and around the villages of Sarita and Lampara benefitted from two kitchens La Mision built. The kitchens will help fight chronic malnutrition in these areas.
