Sustainable Healthy Living
This program focuses on nutrition and life skills of new and expecting mothers. Many of these women in Intibucá lack education in the this area including: basic hygiene, reproductive anatomy, pregnancy, obstetric risks and dangers, labor, post-partum care, breastfeeding and nutrition. This project will also give seeds to individuals for home gardens of vegetables otherwise unavailable.

Gardening giving them a sustainable source of vitamins
Hygiene and its effects on the transmittal of sickness and diseases
Pregnancy and the risks that can be avoided through preparation and nutrition
