How we're supporting children like Lela in Malawi
Rhoda lives in the south-eastern Zomba district of Malawi with her three children. Her four year old daughter, Lela was severely underweight for years.
Like many in the community, poor crop harvests and a lack of education around nutrition, Rhoda couldn’t always feed her children enough food.

“Before, Lela was malnourished, because I didn’t know how to prepare food for the children,” says Rhoda.
How a community - based programme changed everything
However, after the introduction of an innovative community-based nutrition programme, everything changed for Rhoda and her family.
