Chispuditos celebrates 15 years of transforming child nutrition in Guatemala
Guatemala, October 2025. With 15 years of experience, Chispuditos has established itself as a key program in the fight against childhood malnutrition in Guatemala, transforming the lives of thousands of children across the country. During this time, it has achieved significant physical improvements in children, with remarkable recoveries in just a few weeks thanks to the consumption of its products.
Chispuditos is an innovative nutritional supplement, developed by The Mathile Institute, specifically designed to optimize the health and nutritional status of children from 6 months of age. Its exclusive M+ formula, created with a scientific basis, provides 99% of the daily requirements of 21 essential vitamins and minerals with just one tablespoon a day, making it a reliable, accessible, and safe ally to support healthy growth and development.
"Chispuditos' 15th anniversary represents an opportunity to change the lives of thousands of Guatemalan children. Every transformation we see in the health of these children reaffirms our commitment and inspires us to reach even more children," stated Óscar Dussan, Executive Director of Chispuditos.
The impact of Chispuditos has been made possible through collaborative work with institutions and organizations such as Rotary, Guatemalans for Nutrition, Fundación Azteca, Guatevisión, the Starbucks Foundation, Cáritas, and 21 Volcanes, among many others. These strategic alliances have allowed them to reach more families throughout the country, improving indicators of height, weight, and cognitive development, especially in communities with high rates of malnutrition.
With strong values like love, persistence, empathy, and a genuine commitment to improving children's lives, Chispuditos has built its reputation on the quality, safety, and scientific backing of its products. With over a decade of research in Guatemala and abroad, it has contributed to the well-being of hundreds of thousands of children in Central America. Its motto, "Try it and see for yourself, the change is real," reflects the tangible results that thousands of families have already experienced.
In its commitment to innovation, Chispuditos has forged a new partnership with Mariano Gálvez University through the "A Sip of Life" project, which aims to continuously evaluate the impact of supplementation in communities. In Paquip, Tecpán, the results have been encouraging: after children began consuming Chispuditos, the incidence of common childhood illnesses decreased significantly, demonstrating a direct impact on their health and development.
Also, as part of its educational commitment, Chispuditos inaugurated an interactive wall at the Children's Museum, which represents the child's brain and shows how nutrition influences neural connections and cognitive development in the first years of life, a fundamental stage for the integral growth of children.
“It is essential that society understands that proper nutrition from the early years has a direct impact on the physical and cognitive development of Guatemalan children,”
Lisa Villanueva, Operations Director of Chispuditos ,pointed out.
Currently, Chispuditos continues to expand its reach with the goal of reaching every child in need, demonstrating that consistent, high-quality nutritional intervention can optimize children's health and contribute to a healthier future for Guatemala. Chispuditos is available nationwide through distributors such as Farmacias Batres, Meykos, Cruz Verde, Del Ahorro, Fayco, Supermercados La Torre, Econosuper, and El Gran Gallo, ensuring that quality nutrition is accessible to more families.
Finally, Chispuditos offers Guatemalans a diverse portfolio consisting of Chispuditos and Chispuditos MAX, reaffirming its commitment to transforming children's nutrition and continuing to build a healthier future for the country's children.
