Robert does not get sick as often

Robert benefits from Ekitobeero

We just received this very inspiring report from Uganda about a little boy named Robert, who has benefitted from the Ekitobeero that was made in our Providence, Rhode Island factory.

Robert Kabagambe, 16 months old is the fifth and last born to Ms Orishaba Jeniffer who is a resident of Kabugu I cell, Ruhiira parish, Nyakitunda Subcounty, Isingiro district in Western Uganda. He started consuming Ekitobeero at six months old after he had been exclusively breastfed for the first six months of his life.

When asked how she feeds the Ekitobeero to the child, Orishaba, in the local dialect, says: ‘My boy likes the Ekitobeero so much. Sometimes he drinks maize porridge in which I have mixed the Ekitobeero and other times I mix it in his food, and he cleans his plate. Even when I simply give him a sachet to eat the Ekitobeero, he enjoys it so much.

According to Orishaba, Kabagambe does not get sick as often as the previous children and she attributes this to the variety of nutrients he derives from Ekitobeero.

Thank you for supporting this important project, which has already been so life changing for children like Robert.
