By Heidi Reed | Edesia's Communication Manager
I wanted to give you a brief update on the project in rural Uganda, where it's the rainy season right now. Despite the unique challenges that come during the rainy season, feeding continues at the Millenium Village site and Edesia was able to ship another 154 boxes to the village on September 18, 2014. There are currently 267 children receiving Ekitobeero, but the project's leaders are planning to extend enrollment to hit the target of reaching 300 children.
Why is their malnutrition in the villages of the Ruhiira region in Uganda? Why is a product like Ekitobeero so imporant? To learn more about the community, and why 30-40% of children are underweight, please click on the link below.
Thank you so much for your continued partnership with us to help break the cycle of poverty in this Ugandan village, by giving children the nourishment they need to fulfill their full potential.

Thank you!
