Kids' Kitchens is the flagship project of CreSer and was born out of the desire to solve the issue of malnutrition to prevent Kindney disease.  Approximately 70% of children residing in the San Pedro Itzicán region experience malnutrition, a significant contributor to the high prevalence of kidney disease in the area. Other children who come for a meal are either orphaned or have parents who, due to various circumstances, are unable to provide for them.

We serve a daily mid-day meal to 500+ children through the operation of five kitchens spread across San Pedro and Mezcala. The success of this initiative owes a debt of gratitude to the invaluable support provided by Foodbank Lakeside. ​

Once again, the success of this project is indebted to the generosity of Foodbank Lakeside. Every two weeks, a dedicated team of our volunteers transports fresh produce from local fruterrias to San Pedro and Mezcala, ensuring that families in these areas have access to nutritious food free of charge. 

This commitment is special to CreSer, given the prevalent issue of malnutrition within these communities. This region bears the highest per capita concentration of individuals suffering from kidney disease of unknown origin in the world. While the direct cause remains unknown, it underscores the significance of using nutrition as a critical preventive measure against potential new cases.

We offer free weekly classes in San Pedro Itzícan that empower local community members to grow organic food sustainably.

In addition to food cultivation, our classes explore nutrition, communication, permaculture, self-reliance, arts & crafts, and more—each rooted in hands-on learning and meaningful community connection.
