Care for Mothers and Children Saves Lives in Argentina

The Nacer/Sumar Program played a pivotal role in dramatically lowering infant mortality rates in Argentina. From 2003 to 2022, there was a 50% reduction in infant mortality. In 2021, the infant mortality rate hit an all-time low of 8 per 1,000 live births. Moreover, the maternal mortality rate dropped by one percentage point to 3.4, aligning closely with rates in developed nations.

An initiative to protect the forest and create a sustainable future

In the Pehuenche community of El Avellano, women protect the native forest and produce flour, oil, and roasted hazelnuts. Their work not only preserves a vital ecosystem ¡ª it also helps Chile reduce its carbon emissions, securing resources to continue fostering sustainable incomes.

Thanks to projects like this, Chile received 5 million dollars for cutting 1 million tons of emissions. Discover how caring for the forest becomes life, energy, and opportunity for communities.
