AMBI Tecpan CarePoint is located in a little village called Panimacoc in Tecpan, Chimaltenango. This is a rural area where the majority of the population work in the fields. The area of Panimacoc is well known because businessmen bought large properties over the past years and now produce different vegetables and fruits. All these parcels are mainly cultivated by the people of Panimacoc.
Panimacoc is not exempt from cases of malnutrition or stunting. The main reason for this is the precarious economic situation of the parents at the community. Usually, children eat only once or twice a day at home, but the meals are not nutritious. Moreover, the lack of sanitation and health care compounds the problem.
