Puente has two core programs which run side by side in each community.

Healthy Families, focuses on improving children's nutritional status by empowering mothers with the skills to monitor and improve their children's health. The program also works to raise community awareness about about food sovereignty, family diet and amaranth.

Eco-Amaranth, works with local subsistence farmers to produce amaranth and other nutritious foods using ecological techniques.

By promoting a higher nutrient, organically grown, staple crops, not only does the program impact the nutritional well being of these communities, but also aims to drive income generation, and thus lead to community sustainability and the protection of traditional ways of life.
