You are helping the fight against malnutrition

IMG_5203
Dear Daniel and Green Street,

Sandrine joined Gardens for Health International (GHI) because her 18 month old daughter, Carine, was malnourished. At eight and a half kilograms, Carine was always sick and rarely slept. After being referred to GHI’s health and nutrition program by the health center, Sandrine learned that she had the power to make her child healthier by following a few simple steps: feeding her child balanced meals, purifying their drinking water, and sleeping in a bed net so as to protect her family from malaria. Carine has since gained two kilograms and is sleeping much more soundly.

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, Daniel and Green Street Foundation, for supporting Gardens for Health, Sandrine and her daughter, Carine, in the fight against malnutrition.
