In the context of the right to life - and particularly to the life of children and their fundamental well-being – the national and international legislation enshrines this right. Since anemia is one of the factors that most influences both infant morbidity and the development of their faculties, it is essential to validate strategies that lead to its reduction / elimination. The research was founded on the conceptual framework of the National Plan for the Reduction and Control of Childhood and Maternal Anemia in Peru, 2017-2021. In this senseand from the opinion of experts, doctors, nutritionists, leading mothers, among others, the proposal was to demonstrate the scope of an educational intervention that allows the reduction of anemia in children between 6 and less than 36 months old from October 2018and February 2019 in Flor de Amancaes shanty town. It is concluded that the control and effect of anemia in inner city areas in Peru will depend on the level of education, training with accompaniment of parents and the legal commitment of the State to ensure the right to life through the nutritional care of our children.
