Back from the brink and into good health

We met Ancilla and her son when he was brought to a health clinic partner with severe acute malnutrition. Weighing just five kilograms at 1 year and eight months, her son was really on the brink.

Now, four months later, Ancilla, her son, and the whole family are moving back from the brink. With your support, Gardens for Health provided Ancilla with the seeds to grow orange sweet potatoes, beans, amaranth, cassava leaves, carrots, passion fruit, avocado, and papaya. GHI also provided Ancilla with two chickens for laying eggs.

Her favorite trainings have been on creating balanced meals, techniques for growing more vegetables over small spaces, and on better complementary feeding techniques for her young son.

Now her son has gained over three kilos and is moving from the brink into better health.

Thank you for investing in Ancilla to make her own family healthier!
