Dative sings to stay happy

IMG_4947
Dear Bridget, GHI, Maisa, Melody, Nellie, Caitie, Sabrina, and Alli,

Dative joined Gardens for Health International (GHI) because her 7 year old daughter, Grace, was severely malnourished, weighing only 13 kg. Dative joined the GHI Health and Agricultural Training Program to learn not only how to reverse Grace’s malnutrition but to make sure she and her four siblings never become malnourished again. Dative has learned that many factors contribute to malnutrition including her being plagued by depression. After the mental health training, Dative says she shares her feelings with her neighbors and tries to sing at least once a day to help her stay happy and able to better care for her children.

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 all for supporting Dative and GHI!
