Anita joined Gardens for Health International (GHI) because her two children were malnourished. At only 19 years old herself, Anita felt like she barely knew how to care for herself, let alone two children. This sent her into depression.

Thankfully, GHI programming has helped her learn ways to address her sadness. Her favorite training so far has been mental health as it has not only helped her learn the signs and symptoms of depression but has also taught her ways to overcome her feelings of sadness. Anita says singing and dancing in church is her favorite cure so far.

After completing GHI’s training program, Dolothea better understands how to cook a well-balanced meal that will enable the three children she cares for to attain all the nutrients their growing bodies need. Emmanuel has since gained four kilograms since Dolothea joined GHI and he is no longer considered malnourished.

Danciana was skeptical that the Gardens for Health International (GHI) program would work for her and her malnourished daughter, Kilamontine. After 14 weeks of training, Danciana now realizes how important GHI’s program really was to the well-being of her family. She learned a lot about nutrition and found the training on how to plant bananas especially useful. She now grows onions, spinach, peanuts, and orange sweet potatoes, and her daughter has gained a kilogram as a result of all this healthy food!

After completing Gardens for Health International’s (GHI) training program, Cecile says she can really see a difference in her child’s health. Sophia, her 1 year old daughter, weighed 6.5 kilograms before the program and now weighs 7.5 kilograms.

Thank you Microsoft for helping Vestine and her family.

Before joining Gardens for Health International (GHI), Vestine’s 2 year old son, Emmanuel, only weighed 7 kilograms. Four months into the program, Manu has gained two extra kilograms. Vestine attributes his weight gain to her learning how to prepare a well-balanced meal with the vegetables she is growing in her own garden, which include carrots, beets, and orange sweet potatoes. These lessons are a staple of GHI’s training.
