Francoise can cook balanced meals

IMG_4834
Dear Scott, Brad, Jessica, Myla, Dominique, Jenna, Martin, and Radu,

Francoise joined Gardens for Health International (GHI) because her 5 year old daughter, Sandrine, was malnourished and weighed just 12 kg. GHI’s trainings helped Francoise realize that what she was feeding her family–mostly beans and rice–was not a well-balanced diet. After the One Pot/One Hour demonstration, Francoise learned how to make a healthy and nutrient-dense meal for her children in one pot in only one hour!

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 Radu, Dominique, Jessica, Martin, Scott, Jenna, Brad, and Myla for giving someone like Fancoise the opportunity to learn that it is possible to cook a complete, well-balanced meal in only an hour.
