Nutre Hogar is a non profit organisation founded in 1988 by Monsignor Romulo Emiliani and a group of volunteers, presided by Susy de Varela.
The organisation supports and gives medical treatment to thousands of poor, malnourished children. Nutre Hogar educates the parents of these children who are usually malnourished as well. It has organised community centres whose main objective is the prevention of malnutrition in the areas most affected by poverty. These centres not only distribute vitamins and meals but also manage farming projects, and hold seminars on health, agriculture, and the environment.
Nestlé has been helping this organisation with the proceeds of the first edition of “La Toque D'Or de NESTLE, un aporte a la Gastronomía panameña”, a collection of culinary secrets of a select group of chefs that participated in the contest “La Toque D´Or de NESTLE” since 1997.
