Bonfride protects her family with clean water

Bonfride joined Gardens for Health International (GHI) because her daughter, Janette, weighed only six kilograms despite being two years old. Before joining GHI’s health and agricultural program, Bonfride did not know that the water she was feeding her children could be contributing to their malnutrition. After the training on the importance of water purification, Bonfride started using Sureau, cheap water purifying drops. She buys these drops at the local village store and uses them every time she cooks or offers her family a glass of water. Bonfride proudly says her children are gaining weight thanks in part to the fact the water they drink no longer makes them sick.

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 Julius, Arther, and Nicole for supporting Bonfride and Gardens for Health.
