The Problem
The majority of the world’s poor are farmers, yet millions are malnourished. In Rwanda, the disconnect between agriculture and nutrition is striking: 72% of families grow food for a living, yet 33% of young children are chronically malnourished. This simple concept that food does not equal good nutrition is at the heart of our mission.
The Solution
To tackle the root causes of malnutrition, we work toward a world in which all families and communities have the knowledge, resources, and support to meet their nutritional needs. The transformative impact is possible by investing in the nutrition of mothers and young children because well-nourished children get sick less often, perform better in school, and thrive.
Our Programs
Malnutrition is complex. It demands a comprehensive approach. Gardens for Health International’s holistic model delivers a long-term solution to malnutrition.

“We’re so blessed; it’s a happy adventure to raise a child! We wish for our baby to grow well; that’s our responsibility as parents. And for ourselves, we’ll maintain a healthy lifestyle, since we have all the knowledge and materials to achieve that now.”
