Phase 1: Proof of Concept

In 2010, in response to Rwanda's high rate of chronic childhood malnutrition and the significant political will to tackle this pervasive public health challenge, we launched our flagship program: our Child Nutrition Program. This program began as a pilot project with a dozen families at two health centers in Gasabo District. Over the next couple of years we continued to refine our model with community feedback and research on the many intersectional factors that contribute to malnutrition.
