Abstract:

This study generally aimed at finding the effectiveness of the UE-NSTP's feeding programs in improving the health conditions of malnourished children and their long term effects. The data and information obtained from the recipients of Gota de Leche and other partner institutions showed that there was much improvement in the nutritional status of the children who participated in the feeding programs. The project also had a significant impact on the behavior and sociability not only of the malnourished children but of the other members of their families as well.
