One Pot, One Hour: One Complete Meal Model

Families with limited resources — from money to time, to firewood and water — are often at risk of malnutrition. Our innovative “One Pot, One Hour” method was developed in response to these resource constraints. Families prepare a balanced meal using ingredients that are readily available and affordable, on a single stove and pot.

In 2015, this approach was adopted by the Rwandan Ministry of Health and shared with over 44,000 Community Health Workers across the nation as part of national efforts to improve nutrition in the first thousand days of life.
