Pueblito’s Preschool Lunch Program worked for 4 years to meet the nutritional needs of preschool-aged children who live in Managua’s poor, urban neighbourhoods and attend what are called community preschools. From 2007-2010, 1000 children, aged 3 to 5, benefited directly from the project.
The Preschool Lunch Program provided community preschools with funds for food staples for the 10-month school year (February – November). Local mothers then used the food to prepare hot lunches 5 days a week for the students.
