Nutritional Education for Children with Anemia in Peru

$200 raised of

Hello all,
I pray you are well.
I am living in the Sacred Valley of Peru. It is a developing country. There is a problem with anemia here. There is a lack of nutritional education.
If you don't know what anemia is, it is a lack of iron+vitC, B9, BA, and B12. The effects of not getting these nutrients are symptoms of fatigue, weakness, paleness, dizziness, headaches, difficulty concentrating, and irritability.
It can also then obviously lead to less confidence in school, not growing as tall as children normally would, not being as smart as they could be. It is a very serious, sad situation.
Especially if you're aware of child development, it can have debilitating effects on their development stage, and therefore, their entire life. By you donating you could impact the lives of many children in the area. They could have a happier, healthier, and more vibrant community.
I have been doing research and testing on my own body with their own local, inexpensive foods.
I found a great combination that is economical and practical that I think could help thousands of people in the region.
It is a mixture of their local kaniwa and kiwicha grains that have iron, making it into a yummy hot beverage in the morning, and adding freshly squeezed orange juice or lime and sugar juice in combination with it, because Vit C helps absorb the iron (*an important note, perhaps for your diet too!).
I think this could really help. It is cultural, local, and economical.
Therefore, I have an idea to post flyers door-to-door around the area so that people can be educated. As you can see in the flyers I posted in the photos on this page, I provide the nutritional information, plus I provide the easy morning solution that I described above.
I will hire local people to help me too, so their families will also benefit from your assistance. It is a very poor region. Your support could really be useful!
I am requesting donations from generous, kind-hearted people to help with this effort.
I have attached the flyer in Spanish and I also had it translated to the local language of Quechua.
Therefore, if it's in your heart to give, the people in the region here would really appreciate it!
