In Guatemala there is a worrying level of malnutrition. Even healthcare and education services are unable to reach all children living in extreme poverty. In order to try to bridge this gap, the role of associations such as the now historic Infancia con Futuro, which implements interventions related to health education and vocational training, are considered essential pillars in ensuring healthy development.

Menarini Spain has long been committed to this NGO. Among the projects implemented with our contribution is a medical clinic equipped with the necessary instruments for the diagnosis of major diseases, including a community pharmacy and a clinical analysis laboratory. This facility, which is constantly being expanded, allows the 5.500 families living in poverty in the villages on the shores of Lake Amatitlán, 30 kilometres from Guatemala City, to not only receive ongoing medical examinations and treatment free of charge, but also obtain information on prevention and all-round health.
