Background Information

In the health sector, we have provided several health equipment to CHPs compounds in rural areas that needed it. We have also held several free health screenings in many communities who lack health care. Focusing on malnourished children and pregnant women, we worked closely with the Embassy of Switzerland in 2021 to run the malnutrition eradication campaign where we trained mothers of malnourished children on how to prepare healthy dishes using the crops we grow in the Upper east region.

Socio economically, we have engaged several teenage single mothers and mothers of malnourished children in training of the making of soap, beads and local beverage in an attempt to empower them and help them take care of their children.

Malnutrition Eradication Project

The first community we visited was the Nyonkorkor community where we met several mothers of malnourished children. Good thing was that the children were present with their parents. Our nutrition officer, took the kids through a malnutrition test and discovered 89 percent of the children present were below the malnutrition line. We had a total number of 72 parents present for the training.

The second community we visited was the Suchaasa community, where malnutrition rates were even higher than the first community, The Nutrition officer conducted the malnutrition test and almost every child present fell below the malnutrition line. We had a total of 58 women present at the training

For both communities, the malnutrition officer took the parents through a few discussions as to the causes of malnutrition and the suggested solutions. They were also taken through some other recipes of preparing healthy dishes using the locally grown crops.
