Claudine will keep her family healthy and happy

IMG_5200
Dear Theresa, Cade Ruffing, Hillary, Caroline, Stacie, Anne, Colin, and Love,

Claudine joined Gardens for Health International (GHI) because her son, Janvier, weighed only eight kilograms at two years old. Claudine realized that if she did not learn the causes and treatment to Janvier’s malnutrition, her three other kids could become malnourished as well.

When she attended her first GHI training in January, she knew very little about what it means to serve a balanced meal. Now that she has been given a cooking demonstration by the GHI health educators and knows to put at least “four colors” on her child’s plate per meal, each of her four children are growing in a healthy and sustained way. The best part: Janvier has gained three kilos and is no longer malnourished!

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 Theresa, Cade Ruffing, Hillary, Caroline, Stacie, Anne, Colin, and Love for supporting Claudine to learn how to cook healthy meals that will keep her whole family healthy and happy.
