WeNOURISH We are working towards a future Early Childhood where children in El Salvador can Development Program meet their most basic human needs and grow healthy. In 2004 a nutrition based program, Libras de Amor - designed to over come malnutrition in children under the age of 5 was created in El Salvador. Libras de Amor became one of the most successful programs that SAHF and FUSAL have implemented. In 2019 Libras de Amor evolved into the Early Childhood Development program to encompass a more holistic approach to a child's health and nutritional needs prior to their 5th birthday. As more research proves the first 5 years of a child's life are the most critical. The program provides support to mothers that are expecting and children up to 5 years old. Not only supporting the child but the family to ensure the care of the child as it continues to grow, educating them on nutrition, hygiene and the importance of a formal education.
