Planting good health

Thanks to Molly, Lee, Jerame and Kandace, Mama Josephine is now planting, growing and eating more nutritious food. Mama Josephine is a single mother with three children, one of whom is severely malnourished and was recently referred by a community health worker to Gardens for Health. We work in partnership with Josephine’s local health post, providing weekly cooking demonstrations and trainings on all the causes and solutions to malnutrition. Additionally, Josephine receives regular home garden visits by our team of agricultural assistants, along with seeds and small animals for her garden. Here Josephine is pictured with some seedlings for her home garden–amaranth and orange flesh sweet potatoes, which she has already planted. Thanks again to you all for planting the seeds of good health!
