The local government workers asked us to help the villages of Masoro,and Kinyana, who needed a hand because of their population of indigenous Pygmy people were battling historical marginalization. With support, they are now providing their preschoolers with porridge every day and a hardboiled egg once a week.
The nurses found that about 19% of the students who were screened in Cyaruzinge showed either physical stunting or signs of malnutrition. That is more common than we imagined, and we hope the feeding program can help them!
The communities are interested in raising rabbits to add protein to their diet. Jean Marie, one of the leaders of Cyaruzinge, has built a very practical and easy-to-clean rabbit hutch with six rooms. His bunnies are thriving and providing both nutrition and a bit of income for his family. Now, the villagers in Kinyana want to learn how to raise rabbits too. This is a wonderful opportunity for one village to help another. Good job, Jean Marie!
