Dear David, Peggy, Sarah, Cori, Shirin, Riki, and Laura,

Denise joined Gardens for Health International (GHI) because her two year old daughter, Sandrine, only weighed seven kilograms. With a total of four children, Denise knew she could not afford to have and take care of any more children. Thanks to GHI’s family planning training, Denise realized she has options to control her family’s size and that all methods are free when she consults with a doctor. Thanks to your generous contributions, Denise also received a home garden. She is growing beets, carrots, and kale in her garden and is excited that she has a better understanding of how to care of her family and prevent malnutrition.

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 David, Peggy, Sarah, Cori, Shirin, Riki, and Laura for giving Denise the gift that keeps on giving!
