I feel proud about the improvements we made to the nutritional program in the past year with your help:
*We increased the program from once a week to twice a week.
*We renewed cooking materials with new pots and bowls so that the meal can be shared with more clinic staff.
*We built a roof over the cooking area so that the women and their kids would be protected from sun and rain.
All of these initiatives were requested by the women themselves and funded by you, loyal supporters of this program. I feel grateful that GAIA is able to help in such an immediate way. By listening to our constituents, we are able to ensure that you, the donors, make the biggest possible impact.
The HIV+ women are very grateful for this program as well. I can tell from the way they laugh and share stories together while they cook and catch up with their friends. Their lives are full of many hardships, and the twice-weekly gathering is a time to relax among their peers while the kids play together and keep an eye on their younger siblings. The women have plenty more suggestions on how to improve this program, and we intend to keep listening and facilitating improvements.
Please know that your gift has made a difference in these Malian women's lives, and please consider continuing your support of this program.
We thank you!
