World Soy Foundation Nourishes 13,895 People with 1,266 Bags of Soybeans

Jul 25, 2013

The World Soy Foundation (WSF) recently received an exciting update from the field that emphasizes how the power of soy is helping children. WSF provided 1,266 bags of soybeans to Food for the Poor and partners in Guatemala where the soybeans nourished 13,895 people, including kids like Hector and his classmates.

Hector lives in a hardworking and remote farming community where the children’s education is getting a boost from soybeans. Recognizing that children need proper nutrition to learn as well as grow, Food for the Poor helped the community install a small processing machine to make soy milk and other foods for the children from the soybeans.

The soy is also the source of a business education. They trained two young women to make the soy foods as well as manage sales of the foods to the community of about 100 people.

In addition to Hector, beneficiaries of the soybeans ranged from orphanages to a vocational school for 1,200 boys. With your support, WSF can reach even more children.
