Jacqueline feels support from her community

IMG_4836
Dear Niji, Sara Kaiser, Sami, John, Ioana & Radu, Ben, Melinda, Joanna, Lawrence, Radu, Kara, and GHI,

Jacqueline joined Gardens for Health International (GHI) because her 4 year old daughter, Emile, weighed only 10 kg. Throughout the health training program, Jacqueline realized that there were other women also struggling with the problems that afflicted her. Due to gender-based violence, she has felt like she has very little control over her own life. Thanks to the support that her GHI class and the health educators provide her, Jacqueline finally feels like she has people on her team rooting for her and her family.

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 Niji, Sara Kaiser, Sami, John, Ioana and Radu, Ben, Melinda, Joanna, Lawrence, Radu, Kara, and GHI for helping someone like Jacqueline learn she is not alone.
