In April of 2006 nutritionist Leticia Ribeiro was moved by the number of malnourished children she saw in the favelas (slums) of Pituacu, in the city of Salvador, Brazil. Along with some other women, she began to work to bring those children back to their normal weight and save their lives. With the help of some members of Igreja Batista Esperanca, who individually adopted each one a child with the amount of US$30 per month, and other people who joined that effort, Leticia developed a six-month program to restore their health and normal weight. From that first initiative, the program Vida com Esperanca (Life with Hope) has sprung, with the vision that one cannot stand idly by as long as there are children dying of hunger. Fifteen months later, several children have been adopted by the program, which has currently 20 children enrolled. In the short term, Vida com Esperança is a program intended to intervene and save children who otherwise will die of hunger. In the long run, it envisions to change the condition in which their families live, which in the first place, brought those children to experience hunger, malnutrition, illness and sometimes death.
