Welcome to NutriFund! We are a 501(c)(3) organization working to combat malnutrition. We began in 2018 and focus primarily on communities in Honduras.

NutriFund's Growing Impact in Honduras:

Based in the city of Yoro — an agricultural hub known for producing coffee, beans, corn and lumber — our programs currently serve communities across multiple municipalities, reaching hundreds of families with nutritional support, education and care.

Together, we are building healthier futures for children and families throughout the region.

From uncertainty to stability, the story of Teresa and Jaime reflects the power of community-based care:

Since joining Nutrifund’s Community Health Program in 2021, Teresa received ongoing support through pregnancy and early childhood for both of her sons. When her youngest, Jaime, began losing weight due to a loss of appetite, she was able to quickly connect with our team and access the care and nutritional support he needed. Today, Jaime is a healthy two-year-old—and Teresa has the knowledge and confidence to care for her children, even in the face of ongoing challenges.

Nutrifund International works alongside communities in Honduras to prevent and treat childhood malnutrition through healthcare, nutrition, and education—empowering families and strengthening local health systems for lasting change.

Because when families are supported, entire communities grow stronger.

Real change is happening every day at the San Yves Nutrition Center. In 2025:

• 55 children recovered from severe malnutrition
• 61 children supported through follow-up home visits
• 30 mothers provided housing, nourishment, and childcare education

Nutrifund is building healthier futures. We look forward to expanding our impact in the coming years.

Community health is at the heart of NutriFund’s mission in Honduras.

In 2025, the impact of this work is already changing lives:
• 89% of children born in the program achieved healthy height and weight
• 280 pregnant or nursing women found encouragement and education through community support groups
• 191 expectant mothers received prenatal care to help improve birth outcomes
• 500+ families were supported on the path toward healthy pregnancies and safe births

Every mother supported, every child thriving, and every family strengthened brings us closer to a healthier future for Honduras.

Thank you to CPPS for investing in our work to bring prenatal and postnatal care to more mothers and children in Honduras.

This is Genesis. She arrived at the nutrition center as a fragile one-year-old, severely malnourished from months of being abused in her home. Slowly but surely, however, and surrounded by loving caregivers, she built strength in her body and confidence in her mind. We are so proud to share that Genesis will soon graduate from Kindergarten!

As part of our continuing series introducing the San Yves team, we sat down with Arianny Chavez, Program Manager for our community-based work across 25 rural villages. In her role, she is tasked with identifying communities for program expansion and building relationships with them.

A nursing student, mother, and lifelong volunteer, Arianny brings energy, compassion, and deep local knowledge to everything she does.

Laura and Martier's infant daughter was suffering from malnutrition so they checked her into the hospital in Yoro where they spent several days in the pediatric unit, scared, and with little explanation or support.

Fortunately, in the case of Laura and Martier, the hospital reached out to Arianny, a program manager with NutriFund, who met the parents at the hospital. She did not, however, confront them with papers to read and documents to sign. Instead, she offered them time, empathy, and the willingness to listen.

Out of this simple gesture of support, Laura and Martier agreed to visit San Yves. A month later, Laura and her daughter are still with us today.

Last year we welcomed Nahin George as the new executive director of the nutrition center. His natural charisma and sense of leadership, not to mention his local knowledge (Nahin is a Yoro native) has made for an inspiring transition at San Yves.

We recently caught up with Nahin for a Q&A about what motivates him, what he finds most difficult, and what gives him hope. Follow the link below to read more:
