Fe Viva provides one meal a day to each student in our Nicaragua school. For many of the children it is the only meal they receive each day.

We would like to increase the amount of food each child receives each day, but we need to build a cold storage unit to store our fresh food and produce to eliminate risk of contamination from rodents, insects and other animals.
