One Dollar Feeds Four Kids #SweetFuture

October 17, 2013 by Nicole 4 Comments

This post brought to you by Truvia® Natural Sweetener . All opinions are 100% mine.

I recently learned that more than 40% of Bolivian families struggle to meet their children’s most basic food needs. Nearly two-thirds of the country’s population lives in poverty. It’s heartbreaking to think that most of Bolivia’s children do not receive even the minimum amount of daily calories they need and suffer from nutritional deficiencies.

Many families cook with primitive woodstoves that create harmful smoke, which leads to further health issues for family members. Realizing these hardships, the Truvia® brand has teamed up with the World Food Program USA to provide Bolivian kids and families with a sweeter future.

Thanks to the Truvia’s “Sharing a Sweet Future” charitable initiative, more than 34,705 Bolivian school children have already received more nutritionally balanced school meals. Bolivian locals have received 68 fuel-efficient stoves, allowing another 3,574 students to eat cooked meals in a safer environment. That’ is really awesome work, Truvia®!

    I’m a big fan of Truvia and now even bigger because of their work with Bolivia’s children. The pumpkin pie recipe is one I will try because of sugar issues in my family. Thanks for spreading the word.

    Thanks for the video share. A coworker was talking about this so I’m glad I ran across it! I think I’ll give the recipe a try, although I am not the best at baking! =)
