Empowering women with the Better Families program
Through Fundazucar, the Guatemalan Sugar Industry has promoted social programs focused on the areas of health, education, and municipal strengthening, aimed to women, youth, teachers, health workers, community leaders and municipal authorities.
The Better Families Program is an innovative model that promotes Food and Nutrition Security by fostering self-confidence, self-management, and leadership in women. The program places women as the catalyst for development of their families and communities. It also fosters behavioral change and empowerment, which makes a direct impact in the reduction of chronic child malnutrition by up to 7%.
