Food Donations @ Jerónimo Martins

Ara is supporting the Colombian Institute for Family Well-Being, in its mission to address the dietary deficiencies of children. The programme 1,000 days to change the world aims at reducing child deaths from causes associated with starvation.

The Bodega del Canasto store in Cúcuta was opened in 2017 as a way of ensuring the supply of basic food products at very low prices both to Colombians and to Venezuelans across the border.

In Colombia, half of the households live in a situation of food insecurity and 1 in 9 children are undernourished. In order to contribute towards fighting this issue, Ara is supporting the Colombian Institute for Family Well-Being, in its mission to address the dietary deficiencies of children. The programme “1.000 días para cambiar el mundo” (1,000 days to change the world) aims at reducing child deaths from causes associated with starvation. The donation of food baskets from Ara encompassed five departments in the country: Risaralda, Norte de Santander, Cesar, Meta and Magdalena, and provided much-needed help to over 2,300 children and their families.

Migrants use a rope to cross the Tachira river, the natural border between Colombia and Venezuela, as the official border remains closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Cucuta, Colombia, on November 19, 2020.
