San Antonio de Padua Nutritional Recovery Center
24/7 care for malnourished children
The center receives and cares for children from low-income families suffering from malnutrition. They are cared for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, under careful observation to monitor their recovery.
They receive comprehensive care in Pediatrics, Neurology, Nutrition, Physiotherapy and Psychology, as well as food and shelter. Children stay for three to six months (depending on each case) and, once recovered, return to their homes while their families receive follow-up support to maintain an adequate diet.
