Challenge

Burundi has one of the highest rates of malnutrition in the world. According to the World Food Programme, 52% of children under the age of five (apprx 5.6 million children) suffer from chronic malnutrition. In addition, 57.6% of children under the age of five are affected by stunting. Poverty, poor diet and a limited access to healthcare all contribute to the high rates of malnutrition. The situation is exacerbated by conflict and climate change which have led to widespread food insecurity.

Solution

The Save life make difference project came to their rescue. With the help of this situation, the Organization learned how to balance their diet based on the products they already had. Spending two hours twice a week with one of the organization proved to be a life-changing experience. Her granddaughter's health improved. Despite their challenging circumstances, Goreth and her family were determined to overcome malnutrition and lead healthy lives.
