Congratulations, Province of Iloilo! Our hearts leap with joy to see the drastic drop in the rate of child undernutrition in your province–from 38% in 2000 to 3% in 2019! You are true nutrition champions! We celebrate with you because since 2014, 2,045,670 Mingo Meals have crossed the waters from the NVC production plant in...
One year ago, ReyJohn was a hungry, unsmiling boy who couldn’t stop eating Mingo Meals (four in one sitting as you can see). We’re back in ReyJohn’s village of Glab in Zamboanga del Sur with a fresh supply Mingo Meals. We don’t know if it’s to us he gave his biggest grin, or if it...
We love how Vena Energy not only produces renewable energy but feeds kids so that they will be healthy and full of energy! This is our third year of our partnership with Vena Energy for Negros Occidental and Ormoc. Two years ago, they also began feeding children in Bukidnon. Through the years, so many kids...
We’re going to war, and these are our soldiers. It’s a war against malnutrition and we’re fighting for all of the 650 underweight children aged 6 to 71 months in the municipality of Calatrava, Negros Occidental. NVC’s 10 Million Mingo Meals donors are taking on the enrollment of 400 children, with the balance of 250...
Who says that Mingo Meals are only for kids? Certainly not this six footer. Six years ago, when he still had two human legs, Erik Lacson walked with us several kilometers along shoreline stretches in Leyte and Samar, to document our turnover of Peter Project boats to people who lost their boats to Typhoon Haiyan. After that,...
Cuteness came in batches as groups of students from Lamblight Catholic School visited the NVC Production Plant last week to learn how Mingo is made and why good nutrition is important to growing children, especially underprivileged ones. We thank Lamblight Catholic School for making their students a part of our Mingo journey, and most especially...
As of September 19, 2019, 2,380 children in nine different locations in the Philippines are taking Mingo Meals daily. Add 542 in three other locations who are about to start, and that totals nearly 3,000 children enrolled for a protocol of daily feeding for six months. And we hope to reach even more as support...
When her husband Gody asked Debbie Weniger what she wanted for her birthday, all she asked was for 40 malnourished children from impoverished families back home in the Philippines to be enrolled in the Mingo Meals nutrition program. This would mean these kids getting a good chance at crossing the line from malnourished to normal...
Happy birthday, Joven! His mother isn’t sure whether Joven turns five or six today, but after having given birth 14 times (with eight children surviving) and living on a husband’s daily income of Php 180, we can’t blame her if she can no longer keep track. We first met Joven in Davao Occidental when he...
