In the Field with Dr. Anany
In Haiti 1.3 million children (12% of the general population) are under 5 years old. The likelihood that these children will die before they reach their fifth birthday is amongst the highest in the Western Hemisphere. However, CNP/Kore Timoun is literally alone in saving malnourished children in the region of Leogane.
Raising Awareness About Affordable Local Foods
This autumn, the Children’s Nutrition Program of Haiti / Kore Timoun participated in a Nutrition Fair in Petit Goave, organized by the international relief agency, Samaritan’s Purse. The public event welcomed over 300 people of all ages, including children from several local schools.
“It's Thanks to Kore Timoun that my Children are Alive”
A twenty-minute drive or a four-hour walk from the Kore Timoun headquarters in Leogane, Haiti, a family of six children live in a small wooden home with a red door. Kore Timoun monitrices have knocked on this door many times.
