Nutrition Program
Guatemala’s rate of chronic malnutrition, also known as stunting, in children under age 5 is almost 50%, the highest in Central America and among the highest in the world. Each year the Nutrition Program treats approximately 120-130 babies and young children in four rural, Indigenous communities near Xela where the chronic malnutrition rate is even higher.
