Sandrine plans for the future

IMG_4839
Dear Steve, Paige, GHI, and Marielle,

Sandrine joined Gardens for Health International (GHI) because her two year old daughter, Tasian, was malnourished and weighed only 6 kilograms. Sandrine was skeptical of family planning before joining GHI, yet after the training, she learned that a big family was one of the biggest contributing factors to her children’s malnutrition. With four children, Sandrine barely had enough food to keep them all well-fed. Now that she has family planning, she does not plan on having any more children and will use her new knowledge of making balanced meals to improve their diets and their health.

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, Steve, Paige, GHI, and Marielle for supporting someone like Sandrine. Through your kindness, she learned that using family planning is essential, in her case, to ending her children’s malnutrition.
