Background
The Pan American Health and Education Foundation (PAHEF) is dedicated to making the Americas healthier for everyone. PAHEF financed a grant to World Neighbors, an NGO from the United States, to develop a project promoting better practices in infant nutrition and overall health in the remote Potosi region of Bolivia.

Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere; nearly two-thirds of its population lives on less than US$2 a day. Over 60 percent of the population is indigenous and lives in remote, rural areas where food security and child malnutrition are serious issues.
