As part of our early childhood program, we hold termly workshops for parents in
the community to practice the cooking of balanced diets in order to fight
malnutrition and stunting. This year, we brought together a team of specialists
from Rwamagana Hospital, African Enterprise, Musha health Center and
community health workers who worked with REAP staff to conduct the
workshops.
REAP worked with the Musha Sector leadership to select 30 parents with their 36
children under the age of five. All parents were under the poverty line according
to the national poverty categories. The workshops took place at the new Ihuriro
community center where parents used food supplies collected from their homes
and produce from the REAP farm to practice proper nutrition.
