Watching the harvests (and children) grow healthy

Mama Mukaruniga has six children and is a single mother. She had no home garden before becoming involved with the Gardens for Health program (GHI), but now she is growing carrots, beets, peppers, amaranth, and orange sweet potatoes.

She values the training that she has received from a GHI agronomist and is now cultivating every available plot next to her home with vegetables. She also says that after the education sessions, she is more aware of what sorts of foods to feed her children who are malnourished; after two months, one of her children who was on food aid has already gained two kilos and is no longer classified as severely malnourished. 

Thanks to you Amy, this family is nourishing themselves.  A heartfelt thank you for this donation!
