The map below shows current La Vida areas of activity or in need of support:
"Our aim is to support and teach new mothers how to breastfeed using the Kangaroo program. Breastfed babies in low income households are generally better nourished than those given formula, because mothers tend to give diluted formula to their babies, as it’s expensive"
Amount: $6230 per year- on-going annual commitment
"The kids from both the morning and afternoon sessions now have a safe environment to learn and play in and have the proper equipment to develop their extra-curricular skills"
Amount: $10,000 sent in July 2007
"One in 150 babies in Guatemala are born with Spina Bifida. La Vida is sponsoring a campaign to reach out to 20,000 young women of a reproductive age through the creation of a DVD and workshops to be conducted throughout schools in Guatemala to promote the consumption of folic acid which prevents Spina Bifida"
Amount: $8,000 sent in February 2009
