treatment of malnutrition - Providing

methodology for their communities We currently work with 20 partner health
centers across two districts, helping over 3,000 families each year to
break the cycle of malnutrition by providing them with the healthy food

agricultural assistance, comprehensive health education, and regular home
visits, to ensure that families receive the resources, education, and
