A home garden for Rosetta and her children

DSCN1649
Dear Arianna,

Thanks to your support Rosetta is growing more health for her children. We first met Rosetta when her youngest child was diagnosed with malnutrition and brought to one of our health clinic partners. She and her child were enrolled in weekly cooking demonstrations, health education sessions, and received a home garden package of seeds and chickens.

Rosetta, pictured next to her garden with her children, is now growing carrots, spinach, orange sweet potatoes, soy beans, and amaranth and daily harvesting eggs from her chickens. Her youngest is now no longer severely malnourished. Rosetta credits the fact that vegetables are more readily available and now knowing how to prepare balanced meals, for the reason her children are growing well. She now believes they will never be hungry again–and the power is all hers.

Thank you Arianna, for your incredible generosity.
