The project, funded by 8×1000, aims to alleviate malnutrition in the community of Tamarindo, a rural community in the Santa Ana area consisting of 350 inhabitants dedicated to the cultivation of corn and sorghum.

ICU, together with the local university, the Catholic University of El Salvador (UNICAES), has helped the local population to start the production of bananas, papaya and yucca in order to diversify the nutritional intake and promote the sale of new products.

Thanks to this vision they began the fishing of tilapia, a typical fish of the area, exploiting the river’s proximity. In this way the local community can access to a protein.

Another aspect of the project was the health and nutritional monitoring of the entire population through medical visits and analyzes carried out in the same community with the help of UNICAES infirmary students.
