The poor neighborhoods of San Pedro Sula are part of this big city with 1.2 milion people. We have selected institutions that provide daily assistance to children living in this poor neighborhoods. The institutions provide food to this children and in some cases they are guardians of the kids.
Medical doctors and school teachers thoughout Central America testify to the extensive malnutrition that exists amongst the "ninos pobres" who live in these countries. Well over half of these children do not have access to Cow's milk, or any other daily source of high protein that their bodies need to grow, and importantly, that their minds need to learn! No proteina, no apprenden!
A Mechanical Cow is a soybean milk machine that feeds over 500 children a day with high protein soymilk and soy products, twice a day, for years. In essence, it is a mini dairy plant. Hundreds of these machines operate around the world, and in the last 10 years, the Rotary Foundation has supported Matching Grants that have installed over 25 "Cows" in Brazil, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, and Honduras (see the attached "Rotary Background" for Levi Clain).
