Food and Milk Program
The Cost of Living Index in Guatemala is rising faster than most people can keep pace. Corn is second only to oil as the country's largest commodity. Many families have a hard time even buying the corn meal to prepare home-made tortillas, their basic daily diet. Other fundamental foods, such as rice, flour and oatmeal are on the rise and we fear many, many more families are at risk of malnutrition. Children and infants who need formula are in the most danger.
