The GHI and Zaarly community come together to help Veneranda

posted May 6, 2013

Thank you all for supporting Gardens for Health, either by donating directly to this amazing organization or by making a purchase at the Zaarly Bazaar in Seattle, where five percent of all purchases made at the Winter event were given to one of SeeYourImpact’s charity partners. Your contributions supported someone like Veneranda and her family.

Veneranda joined Gardens for Health International (GHI) because her daughter, Alphonsine, weighed only six kilograms despite being two years old. Veneranda credits GHI for turning her daughter’s health around. She says that, before attending GHI’s trainings, she thought the traditional healer was the best option to help her daughter when she was sick. After the training on traditional healing, Veneranda learned that getting Alphonsine to the health center when she is sick will aid in her speedy recovery. Since January, Alphonsine has gained five kilograms!

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 Gardens for Health so we could teach Veneranda that there are other options than seeking treatment from a traditional healer when her family is sick.
