Healthy Consumption

Training of Women in the Preparation of Nutritional Substance

We train locally elected promoters of nutrition about the nutritional value of the foods they prepare and methods of preparing foods to better their nutritional intake. We emphasize the nutritional needs of young children during their most critical periods of growth. The promoters of nutrition then share their knowledge and abilities with the women of their communities.

Motivation of Responsible Consumption

Commerce brings with it a huge variety of processed foods – fast food, soft drinks, sugar candies, junk food and prepackaged foods – which people consume more and more often in the place of traditional healthy foods. We develop activities that make families conscience of the costs and health effects of these types of food.
