Vestine’s culinary knowledge prevents malnutrition in her children

IMG_1070
Vestine joined Gardens for Health International (GHI)’s health and nutrition program when she realized her two year old son, Emmanuel, was malnourished. After the 14 week training program, Emmanuel gained 2 kilograms and now weighs a health 9 kilograms. Vestine says that learning how to cook a balanced meal (with four colors of food) taught her that variety was both good for her son and a way to get him to eat everything off his plate!

Located in the Gasabo District of Rwanda, GHI offers gardening kits and nutrition education to families in need so they can work towards better food security and overall health.

Thank you Microsoft for helping Vestine and her family.
