Good nutrition=stay in school

Mama Maria supports four children, who were diagnosed with malnutrition. With the support of Gardens for Health, Maria attends regular cooking demonstrations at her health center, receives visits from a GHI agronomist, and a home garden package. Although she didn’t have a home garden before, Maria is now growing cabbage, carrots, amaranth, spinach, beets, and eggplants.

One of her children has improved enough to meet normal nutrition standards, and is now going to school. Whereas she didn’t have the energy before to complete her primary school classes, Maria says that she is now energetic, and present.

Thank you, Cheya, Ashly, Sara and Jill for making this possible!
