About KAH Food

SewHope has sent almost one million nutritious meals to Guatemala!

Kids Against Hunger Food Assistance
Unfortunately, there is a tremendous amount of hunger and malnutrition throughout the communities where we work. Our family and community gardens have not yet grown large enough to meet that need. Therefore, SewHope also provides Kids Against Hunger nutritious meals to those most vulnerable to the effects of malnutrition (children, pregnant women, and nursing mothers) and those families most poor. We realize this assistance is not a permanent solution and our goal is to help Guatemalans become food sufficient while reducing the acute hunger needs.
Kids Against Hunger is a nonprofit humanitarian food aid organization based in Omaha, Nebraska whose mission is to significantly reduce the number of starving children around the world. Their meals are packaged in the U.S. by civic groups and other organizations and provide a rich source of protein, carbohydrates, vegetables, minerals, and vitamins that is flavorful and enjoyed by Guatemalans. SewHope is partnering with a KAH affiliate based in Detroit, Michigan that has provided us with over 50,000 meals. Kids Against Hunger is a nonprofit humanitarian food aid organization whose mission it is to significantly reduce the number of starving children around he world.

​In 2009, a small group of people from Toledo, Ohio joined with SewHope to start a local satellite of Kids Against Hunger  in order to obtain nutritious food that could be shipped to the malnourished children in the villages of Guatemala that we are working in.  Those involved in the work of SewHope saw an emergency need for adequate nutrition for the children in this region.  While we realize that a long term solution to solving the problem of malnutrition is complex and involves much more than these meals, we see that this program is clearly addressing the immediate need and allowing children not just to survive, but to thrive.
KAH meals provide a rich source of easily digestible protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins needed by a malnourished child's body and mind. The food is well accepted by the communities we work in and the  meals offer all nine of the essential amino acids required for complete nutrition - something that can't be said about other typical food relief sources such as rice or beans alone. The food is easy to package and store and easily prepared using only boiling water.
