The World Soy Foundation is excited to introduce a project that can create a catalyst for sustainable progress toward well-nourished and educated communities. Titled “The Youth We Feed Can Lead,” this project will empower students in a community we already serve to be agents of change in their schools and families. We will combine low-cost video production training and equipment with nutrition education for students who can then share their story.

The long term benefits of this project will be monumental. Not only will Guatemalan youth gain new skills and tools to communicate the importance of healthy food choices to their communities, these youth-led videos can be shared across the Spanish-speaking countries in Central America—especially those already using soycows to produce protein-rich soyfoods!

This project will also increase the demand for soy dairy enterprises that will produce healthier foods for the malnourished children throughout Central America. And, with more soy dairy enterprises, come more local jobs for women. More jobs=more money=more food for the children.

Interested in supporting this specific project? The project will cost approximately $5,000 and an anonymous donor has generously agreed to match up to $2,500 of the funds we raise from May 11-May 31! Visit our campaign page here on May 11 and help us raise the other $2,500 to empower Guatemalan youth!
