Edesia is very proud be partnering with the Millennium Villages Project to help enhance nutrition for young children living in rural Uganda.
Well nourished children, especially in the first 1,000 days of life, from conception to the age of two, will grow to their full height and cognitive potential. This leads to lifelong success, in terms of better outcomes in school and less frequent visits to the health clinic.
Just to give you a brief update on the project you so generously supported, the first shipment of Ekitobeero was delivered to the villages in January of this year. I'm attaching a photo of the distribution process.
As you can imagine, education is absolutley the key to the success of any nutritional program, which is why I also want to share that there were 68 community health workers trained on how to mix Ekitobeero in with other foods and then explain this process to parents.
We are so grateful for your support of this important project, which has the potential to strengthen not only 300 children in Uganda, but the community as a whole. Thank you again.
