Yusmarelis Acuña, 29, snuggles with her daughter, Grendimar, 6, while her son Greivis, 3, climbs on her and eldest daughter, Valentina,7, chats with her outside their home in Tomuso, Venezuela. Grendimar's mother Yusmarelis struggles to feed her three children often juggling which meals she can feed them often opting for lunch before school or right before dinner so they don't go to bed hungry. The mother of three has been receiving nutritional support from Caritas Venezuela for her two youngest children, Grendimar and Greivis after they were found to be undernourished during a growth monitoring session. "I could feel her bones when I bathed her," says Yusmarely of daughter Grendimar of what she was like when she was enrolled in the nutritional feeding program. "She’s transformed. I’d cry and cry. She was too old for the project but they let her in anyway." The current minimum monthly salary averages to about $1.50 and covers only 2 percent of the minimum nutritional basket. As of March 2018, it would require 73 monthly salaries solely to cover the cost of feeding a family. Families cope by selling off goods, cutting back on meals and the quantity of food served at each meal. Routine growth monitoring sessions conducted by Caritas has shown that 70 percent of children under 5 show signs of some form of nutrition with 8 percent from severe malnutrition.
