Strengthening a family’s health

IMG_0525
Dear Amy,

Solange is a single mother with three children. She values the education, seed provision, and home garden support she receives from the Gardens for Health program.

Thanks to Amy, Solange is now growing carrots, beets, cabbage, swiss chard and amaranth, in addition to the cassava and and maize she was growing already. She loves coming to the health center weekly, because she can learn from other mothers who are also facing–and overcoming–similar challenges.

Here she is pictured with one of her little boys, who, while still malnourished, is slowly losing the signs and symptoms. Thank you so much Amy, for enabling Solange to support and strengthen her family’s health.
