Holt International’s newest program, Food Every Day, is a community of monthly donors committed to ending child hunger across the globe. Monthly donors are changing the lives of children and families by providing nourishing meals — every single day.
Meet Bilguun. He lives in Mongolia, and he has severe cerebral palsy.
His whole body is affected by spastic muscle tightness, making daily activities like eating difficult. Even with the help of caregivers, he was struggling to get enough nutrition during meals — usually because he was unsafely fed while lying down.
Like Bilguun, many of the children who enter Holt’s programs are malnourished, anemic or struggling with feeding difficulties.
But because of Food Every Day donors, Bilguun is receiving breakfast, lunch and snacks every day at a Holt-supported kindergarten he attends.
And through Holt’s child nutrition program training, his caregivers learned how to properly position him during mealtimes — helping him safely receive all the nourishment from his food!
Now he can sit upright in a supportive chair, eat his meals comfortably safely and enjoy interacting with his teachers during mealtime.
Holt sponsors and donors ensure that children with medical needs are fed with dignity and care.
With nutritious food, Bilguun is growing stronger each day!
