Resumen: Childood is considered a transcendental stage in the evolutionary process of man, characterized by two phenomenon: growth and development, for which a suitable nutrition is fundamental.The damage that causes undernourishment that is suffered in childhood is greatly lamented by society, since in this stage it is the child's brain that suffers the greatest impact, in which irreversible metabolisms and structural alterarions will occur. Nevertheless, infant undernourishment is not only a problem of lack of fodds, but is also a deeper social conflict, that must be considered at the time of offereing solutions.The Corporation for Childhood Nutrition (CO-NIN), founded in Chile in 1975, has the mission to help in the recovery of the children from 0 to 3 years who present primary or secondary undernourishment. From 1993, this proyect was extended to the province of Mendoza, Argentina, as the CONIN Foundation (Cooperative for Childhood Nutrition), where this experience was completed by creating Undernourishment Prevention Centres. At the moment this project has been developed in different provinces from the country, in Paraguay and in the near future in Peru, sustaining its work on three pillars: teaching, attendance and investigation.CONIN develops a intervention strategy of great impact, in their area of influence, which is used on the low income population. This in turn causes high social repercusions, as the family and its surrounding are reinforced as a basis for the correct physical and intellectual development of the child, together with an adequate nutrients contribution, allowing the child to develop his genetic potential.
